KS2 Big Sing
NEW for spring and summer terms 2023.
An opportunity for your locality of schools to apply for up to £250 to support the delivery of a Key Stage 2 locality Big Sing.
Deadline for proposals is Friday 28 April 2023.
What is a Big Sing?
A Big Sing involves Key Stage 2 schools coming together for a morning or afternoon working with a leader of massed singing events.
Usually, each school agrees a year group/s to attend.
Big Sings usually take place at one of the locality schools but could also occur at a public venue.
A Big Sing usually culminates in a massed performance to an audience or to each other. The event could be filmed for streaming or for sharing on your digital platforms. Celebrate in your own style!
