I found some of the lyrics that the Primary 4 pupils wrote when they were studying the 'Killer Cat' by Anne Fine. They were using the book to explore creative writing so I lead some music sessions where we wrote our own lyrics to the tune of 'Twinkle, Twinkle'. We explored the different characters of the cats in the book and used alliteration (Killer Cat) and onomatopoeia when writing our lyrics to add musical effect.
Using a well-known tune like 'Twinkle, Twinkle' let the children focus on the creative writing but also meant that the song was easy to perform and easy for the other groups to learn when putting the whole song together. Once the song was written we choreographed different movements to match the lyrics.
