KS1/Yr3 Singing Event

Coventry Music are bringing together Key Stage 1 and Year 3 children from across the city's schools for a singing project that runs from Monday 15 March to Friday 19 March 2027. It's built around a popular school theme, and the songs are more than just singing: they mix rhythmical rhymes, fast-moving feet and Makaton signing.

The way it works is part of the whole point. The children learn the songs in their own schools first, and then they join up with other schools to sing as one, dancing and acting along the way. So by the time they get to the main event, they've already got the songs under their belts and can step straight into the bigger group. It's a project that starts in the classroom and ends with a lot of different schools coming together.

Because it's for KS1 and Year 3, it's aimed at the younger end of the primary age range. The Makaton signing is woven in alongside the singing and the dancing, so it's not just a choir performance — there's movement and signing as much as there is singing. The rhythmical rhymes give the songs a bit of a beat to work with, and the dancing keeps things moving.

The project runs daily from 15 to 19 March, with each session from 09:00 to 15:30. The venue in Coventry is still to be confirmed, so keep an eye out for that detail closer to the time.
