Through the micro-musicals, the children have gained a deeper and broader understanding of the curriculum and have developed a bank of rich language, which has supported their writing outcomes. The micro-musicals have providedan excellent opportunity to teach music through all areas of the curriculum and we have been able to use music as a platform to learn history, science, geography and literature. They have been a good value for money and a valuable resource.-BronwenChalmers, Head Teacher, Davies Lane Primary School.
