Here’a a collection all of the songs on the site that are perfect for encouraging kids to settle in to the new school year. There are Back to School songs for all ages, whether they’re starting at nursery, preschool or reception/elementary.
The holidays always have a nasty habit of flying by! And before long, our thoughts turn to the new term and the challenges ahead. It’s not just all about the new school shoes and back-packs, even though there’s plenty of excitement and anticipation little ones can still feel quite nervous about going into a new class.
So for younger children or for new school starters it is so important to make them feel settled in their new school environment.

The school year is all about routine. These calendar time songs are great for helping to teach the days of the week, the months of the year and all about the different seasons. Perfect for all year round, but great for the start of the year too.
Circle Time is such an important part of the school day. It is also a great way for the children to get to know each other if the class is new. Here is a really useful group of songs that teach colours, shapes and weathers. It also includes the Treasure Song which is brilliant for building confidence.
Little ones often have difficulty understanding and expressing their emotions. Sometimes going back to school can be a bit of an emotional time. This song helps them to recognise and discuss their feelings, with a fun little craft too.
