A common request from teachers of lively teenagers everywhere is : How on earth do I get my kids to enjoy singing in the classroom?
It’s quite a problem finding relevant singing material for kids who are at that awkward, inhibited stage when it comes to singing - and it gets worse as they get older! RAISE THE ROOF! Book 1 was devised by leading educational composer and music teacher Jon Raybould . The songs are all lively, and ideal for the classroom situation. A CD is included featuring exciting backing tracks to each song.
It has proved its worth time after time in hundreds of schools nationwide, and whether the kids are doing Mountain Bike Rider, 8th Years are Brilliant!, Scoobie-doobie-doo-bap-bap! or The Lub-a-Lub or any of the others, the cries from the kids are going to be “Please Sir (Miss), can we do singing today?” rather than “Oh, no, not singing again!”
The songs:
Scoobie-doobie-doo bap-bap!, Lub-a-lub!, Mountain Bike Rider, 7th Years can Do It!, 8th Years Are Brilliant!, 9th Years, That’s Our Name!, Partytown, Hooked On School, Recipe of Life, Fitness Rock’n’Roll, Charleston!, Tennis Song, Coathanger Song, Spot Song, Party, Party, Party.
Hooked On School
Woke up in the mornin’ and the sky was turning grey,
Gotta keep on movin’, got to get to school today,
There’s no time for breakfast, got to run out of the door,
‘Cos I’ve got to get to school to learn math’matics and more...
8th Years are Brilliant...
8th Years are Brilliant,
8th Years are ace,
8th Years are good at setting the pace...
9th Years, That’s Our Name....
9th Years, That’s Our Name,
There’ll never be another bunch quite the same,
We’ve got class, we’ve got style, we are SUPERCOOL...
We’re the mighty 9th Years, We’re the best in the school!
The Lub-a-Lub!
People come in different sorts,
Lub-a-lub-a-lub-a-lub-a - LUB LUB!
Some have spots and some have warts!
Lub-a-lub-a-lub-a-lub-a - LUB LUB!
Some look tidy, clean and neat,
Others never wash their feet!
