Dear ABC Families,

We would like to invite you to take part in a very exciting project  

You may have seen the national launch of the Church of England’s new #faithathome campaign last week. The aim is to get 1000 schools to record a song in time for ‘Thank a Teacher Day’ on the 20^th of May.

We are keen to get involved in this exciting project and would like to make a video of our pupils singing ‘Looking to the Rainbow’ (a song which has been written specifically for the project by Becky Drake, school chaplain in Birmingham). You can see a recording that has already been made below.

What do we need you to do?

1. Have a look at the lyrics and audio file below and learn the song- ‘Looking to the Rainbow’. www.worshipforeveryone.com 
2. Put on your purple school jumper or polo t-shirt (we all need to look the same and represent our wonderful school together).
3. Record yourself singing the song with the backing track. (Have a look at the example schools’ video to see how you should look in yours)
4. Send your finished recording to Miss Sutherland at  jays@archbishopcourtenay.kent.sch.uk by Friday the 15^th May. Please Note: you may have to record your video in sections, if the file is too big it will not attach to the email. Perhaps you could do verse 1 and the chorus and then verse 2 and the chorus.
5. In your email to Miss Sutherland, please copy and paste the following: I consent to the attached video being shared on the school website, on social media platforms and as part of the Looking to the Rainbow Project. I consent to my child’s first name only being published.  I understand that I may withdraw my consent at any time by emailing the school office on office@archbishopcourtenay.kent.sch.uk.
6. Have fun singing, be proud of your achievement and wait for your fabulous feedback!

This is a thrilling challenge and we are looking forward to receiving your amazing entries.

Kind regards,

Miss K Sutherland
