primary school choir repertoire

I will be starting a year 4-5 choir at our school next term.  I'm after repertoire.

Anyone?  Anyone?

I'm looking for winner songs that will be fun and achievable - unison and 2 part to begin with.  The kids have never sung in a choir before.

I'm trying to avoid odes to music and songs about world peace.  The year 6-7 choir master inflicts these on us at every available opportunity.

Any ideas?

  1. Do you know the African chant "Ba-nu-wa?" Add in as many parts as you like - basically ostinati one on top of the other. That always went down a treat with middle primary choirs.

    I'll think on this. But it may take a few days...busy and also I am dredging up from long long ago!

  2. We learnt the theme song to M*A*S*H at primary school. I don't recommend that!
