When the wonderful Miss Morrisroe shared with us that her Year 1 class was planning on using our Minibeast Speech Song activity and adapt it to an “Owl Rap”, we asked whether we could come and film them, and were very grateful when this was possible. Ryan Bramley, a lecturer in the School of Education with a specialism in film, kindly helped capture the children’s efforts, while also giving everybody a chance to get involved in the film making. The result was a wonderful, multilingual performance, which gave children the opportunity to engage with each others’ languages, explore rhythm, develop language awareness, and showcase their multilingual language skills. Thank you very much for welcoming us!
