Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 hello there, I'm busy putting together a compilation of motivational music to be used in my Reception classroom and looped to power points. Those I have already are:- Reach for the stars We are the champions Don't Stop me know Simply the Best Search for the hero Has anyone got any other good recommendations? I'll be more than happy to post my compilation on the forum when it's complete Many thanks Emma

Guest Posted May 20, 2006 Posted May 20, 2006 Proud by Heather Small. This was played as the children walked into assembly in a school I worked in on supply. It really lifted the children and set the tone for celebrating achievement.
