Y6 Back to School Blues

The pupils in Year 6 are going to be learning about Blues music this term. They were mostly really excited to come back to school after the Christmas holidays, but the first day back can also be a little hard. What better way to deal with is than singing the Blues?

Here are some verses created by the whole class together in just 20 minutes...



The lyrics (song words) are usually the starting point for a blues song. We learnt that the first line of three is often repeated. The 12-bar blues divide into three lines, with four bars each. That's why we wrote three lines for our lyrics. 

CRYSTAL:
Back to school... Gotta get up outa bed.
Back to school... Gotta get up outa bed.
Boooohooooo... I'm such a sleepyhead!

SAPPHIRE:
Woke up this morning feeling angry and sad.
Woke up this morning feeling angry and sad.
Got to get to school, or my teacher will be mad...
