A Sailor's Life Key Stage 1
Written by Hazel Askew and Martha Burns Findlay.
This learning resource has been designed to inspire and support primary school teachers and pupils to explore the life of sailors aboard Nelson’s Navy through music, history and literacy, creating an engaging cross-curricular study topic for Key Stage 1. This project grew from a partnership formed between the English Folk Dance and Song Society and National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London.
The resource is divided into 8 units. Each unit includes a museum object and one or two folk songs along with suggested learning activities to support a creative and historical exploration of the topic.
You may wish to work through all the units, or you can select units and activities that are most relevant to you.
Audio recordings of all the songs presented in this resource are freely available for download from the Audio tab at the top of this window.
