This Is Our Carnival (10 Minute Sign & Sing)

Key Stage 2

Learn Makaton signs for This Is Our Carnival, an original song written by Jo Downs and sung by children from Theatre Educational directed by Katy Edmunds and produced by Aidan Hampson. This special song is part of a larger project for National Children’s Carnival Week taking place up and down the country in the week beginning 12th July 2021. Our project with The New Carnival Company has allowed us to share this song nationally so join in from wherever you are and feel free to change the lyrics ‘Isle of Wight’ to your own school, town or carnival company name!

Learn the Makaton signs with Kelly and then try it out with the performance video. Also included is a pdf of the score for download and backing track versions for your own performances.
