In a series of colourful and playful short films, Kirklees families with children under the age of five, took part in a project by singing Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes in languages spoken in their home. The project was designed to link in with Kirklees’ wider ambitions to encourage communities’ involvement in music across Kirklees with families from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds. To improve family’s awareness of the importance of music in early language development and the offers that are available from Libraries and Early Years settings.
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes is a project funded by Kirklees Council’s Libraries and Early Years Outcomes in partnership with the Creative Development Team. Filming took place at Batley Library, The Greenwood Centre and The Chestnut Centre.
