SEALSONGS is a collection of assembly songs which aims to get children engaged through the experience of making and creating music. Its lyrics were written with considerable input from Year 4 and 5 pupils, so speak from children to children, and the musical backing tracks were professionally recorded. 

But the resource goes further and offers teachers detailed advice on writing new lyrics, leading singing and other ways that SEALSONGS may be used in the classroom. Thus it enables teachers to give young children the positive experience of working with others in creating music and lyrics within the SEAL framework. There is also guidance for non-specialists in how to teach songs.

The SEAL themes are:

Song 1: New beginnings
Song 2: Getting on and falling out
Song 3: Say no to bullying
Song 4: Going for goals!
Song 5: Good to be me
Song 6: Relationships
Song 7: Changes

Two further general songs - one about writing songs and one providing a Rhyme Game - are also included in the pack.

JENNY MOSLEY (Founder of Quality Circle Time) said "SEALSONGS is a wonderful gift to any adult who wants to truly help their class or school embed SEAL as a way of ‘being’ with ourselves and others. We all know that song can lift you to a different spiritual dimension – David Stoll has given us the perfect package to help even the most music-shy amongst us to engage young people in the process of creating heart-warming songs as part of a creative team..... This is an excellent resource.”

HOWARD GOODALL (National Ambassador for Singing) said "These SEALSONGS have the authentic ring of children's ideas and feelings in every line. This, for me, makes it a valuable and empowering set of musical tools..... with excellent supporting materials and explanations."

The SEALSONGS book and CD are available here as a download for £10 plus VAT.  This price includes a licence for full use of all the material within the school, including recording new versions of the songs.  The complete package is split into different files so that schools may choose which elements they wish to record or print.
