YAMSEN:SpeciallyMusic, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, have created a set of multisensory music and arts cross-curricular resources about the Leeds Liverpool Canal.
These resources can form the basis of a month-long project or can be used a set of one off activities. They have all been tried and tested by pupils in classrooms around Leeds.
The pack includes:• a teacher’s book with clear instructions showing the activities for differing levels of working.
• A CD with the songs recorded as learning tracks and as singalong tracks.
• An illustrated pupil’s book which includes the song words, art and dance ideas.
The resource pack is also available in hard copy via post. For books, please email diane.paterson@leeds.gov.uk stating your school name and how many teacher’s and pupil’s books are needed.
