Music Makers pen Osborne Song!
In the Autumn Term Osborne School won ‘Best Special School’ at the Chairman’s Year of Music Awards scheme. Our reward was two mornings with the wonderful Tara Chapman, a music workshop teacher. Tara and 10 students wrote an ‘Osborne School song’, with lyrics written by the pupils and inspired by the Osborne Values. Hear it above, the words are below. Sing along!
Osborne School Song
Introduction
Baaa, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba x 4
Verse 1
We’re down here at Osborne School
To tell you of our 7 values
Peace, stay calm, don’t stress
Don’t fight and play with friends
Happiness, smiling and laughing
Feeling good about ourselves all day long
Co-operation, don’t forget to help
Don’t forget to have teamwork
Respect other people and respect everyone
Being kind supporting each other
Bridge
Sharing our values, we care for each other
Chorus
We learn, we help,
In truth, in peace
Respecting each other, happy together
We smile, we play
We get along
It’s time to get together at Osborne School
And we sing
Baaa, ba-ba, ba-ba, ba-ba x 2
Verse 2
Responsibility – I am in charge of my things and me
The smallest things that I do matter
Honesty – don’t lie all the time
Be truthful forever, we’re there for one another
Learning – building our knowledge
Discovering new things every day
Bridge
Chorus

Chorus x 2 (with improv in ba section)

We may not change the world but it’s a start today.
