Key Stage 1 BrightSparks Resources: Stan and Mabel and the Race for Space

In this resources pack, designed for Key Stage 1 teachers, you will find all you need to prepare your pupils for, or work with them in response to, the LPO's Key Stage 1 BrightSparks concert featuring Stan and Mabel and the Race for Space, with story by Jason Chapman and music by Paul Rissmann.

With extra information about the orchestra, music, and theme for the concert, the resource pack below – created by concert presenter Polly Ives and the London Philharmonic Orchestra – includes suggestions for classroom activities and tips for teaching the participation songs and their actions.

We encourage you to learn the audience participation songs before coming to the concert. The words will be shown on the big screen so no need to memorise them!

We would love to see any work your children create using these resources! If you’d like to share this with us, please send it to [email protected]
