Fredbear Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi well what do you all think. As we shall be exploring British culture, traditions, celebrations in the coming weeks, would you sing the National anthem God save the queen, Thoughts please.

JacquieL Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think that the children are going to be hearing it on St. George's Day, at the Queen's Jubilee celebrations and the Olympics, and possibly as football supporters so knowing what it is and why it is sung and having a go sounds like a good idea.

catma Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I think they should have awareness of it - it's part of british culture. It doesn't diminish any other culture the child may have access to. And I always feel sad when any British team player mumbles along, unlike say the French or Irish who sing their anthems with pride and gusto.(After watching the last 6 nations season).

dreamgirl Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 It's a massive yes from me . In my jubilee week at the end of may I am having it as my rhyme of the week!!!!! Rhymes go home every week for children and parents to sing together. I record myself and put it on the school website so parents know how the rhymes go as we have lots of families who don't know nursery rhymes. So when I do the national anthem I guess I'll have to stand up to record it!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I agree we celebrate other cultures and festivals - we sometimes forget where we are from England - and yes God save our Queen. looking forward to two weeks of England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lashes2508 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I wont be in England so may have to wear a union jack bikini !!! Dreamgirl love the idea of sending home rhymes each week and recording on website - can i ask do you have a lot of EAL children and parents or this is just to encourage cll and partnerships with parents ?? or is it because so many don't know ryhmes and songs that are not from the charts !!

Deb Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 http://www.outoftheark.co.uk/god-bless-the-queen-song-download.html Here's a link to a jubilee song that some may find of interest, suitable for 5-11 year olds, at a cost of £2.22 to download.
