Great for our junior schools club
Our junior school has a self confidence club where we discuss about our feelings and how the media can impact the way we feel. Some of these songs came in really handy for the children to sing and relate to. One of the girls said " I like the song Sometimes because it reminds me of how I feel on bad days" one of our boys said " I like I'm cross because sometimes I feel that people don't listen to me" The children have said the songs help them with their confidence and we will continue to use this song book in our club. Many thanks , Maisy
Brilliant
This is the best songbook our junior school has! The songs have meanings behind them and the children really sing them from the heart. We used them in our summer concert last year and we had very positive reactions from the parents some saying the children sing them all the time at home. I hope to find more song books like this in the future as they are great for teaching children about self confidence especially in this day and age! Thank you out of the ark.
