Year 6

London is the Place for Me by Lord Kitchener

In this lesson, we will listen to part of a song, read some of the lyrics in the song and reflect upon the style of music. The children will also generate their own questions about the song and its lyrics. The teacher will also provide the children with some historical context.

To form an initial impression of a song

In this lesson, we will consider the historical context in relation to the song they studied in the previous lesson. With this in mind we will then consider the songwriter's purpose when writing the song and who the intended audience might have been.

To consider the author's purpose and intended audience

In this lesson, we will look at the positive terminology used in the song we have studied and then learn some strategies to help understand new words. We will also have the opportunity to practise using these strategies.

To explore the author's use of language and word meaning

In this lesson, we will have the opportunity to practise answering questions in a written form. We will also consider how the musician's feelings have changed over a period of time by studying a new song.

To consider Lord Kitchener's perspective

In this lesson, we will look at the negative terminology used to describe London and compare it to the positive language used to describe Jamaica in the song 'Sweet Jamaica'.
