Compost! is a fun musical for children and/or adults, teaching them and their audiences how to make compost, and why it’s so important to compost our waste.
‘It was grate fun.’ Ryan, age 8
Compost! is written by Anneliese Emmans Dean. Anneliese has worked closely with her local composting champions, York Rotters, to ensure that the information it contains is accurate.
The mini-mini version of Compost! can be learnt in as little as 30 minutes - great for ‘from scratch’ performances at e.g. festivals.
Compost! can also be learnt over a longer time scale, incorporating more songs and spoken parts, more related activities and more background information about composting. Anneliese can come to where you are and teach Compost! in half a day, or you can teach it over the course of a whole term - as you prefer.
Read more about Compost! in action in schools, parks, festivals, on the radio, indoors and out ...
‘I enjoyed baning on the drums and singing the songs.’ Rachel, age 8
If you learn Compost! in a school, the children then become the ambassadors for composting in your school, with a show they can perform to the rest of the school, to parents, and in the community.
Primary (KS2) and secondary school/adult versions available.
Compost! meets the following Every Child Matters outcomes:
- ‘Enjoy and Achieve’
- ‘Making a Positive Contribution’.
There are two options for putting on Compost! The (mini-)Musical where you are:
1. Anneliese can come to your school/event and teach the eco-musicals. email Anneliese for details
2. You can learn the eco-musicals yourselves using theBigBuzz teaching materials, which include lyrics, song sheets and a resource CD. These teaching materials are available to order from theBigBuzz store.
