Our equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) programme features a series of seven off-the-shelf lessons designed for primary school aged children.
The content for
Electric Umbrella Express has been co-created by Electric Umbrella members alongside children and teachers at Sarratt Primary School.
As well as individual plans, each lesson comes with a new song that has been written by Electric Umbrella members with pro-musicians to inspire discussion about each theme.
The resources are matched to reflect National Curriculum requirements with learning outcomes and learning intentions referenced throughout the pack to to help teachers plan effectively.
The full resource pack can be purchased here, and you can also access a free digital teaching resource, based around our 2023 Christmas single, "Kindness Isn't Just for Christmas" below.

New Paragraph
Can you feel it?
There’s a magic in the air
All the love that we’ve got we share
With our families and friends
It’s getting closer and closer
But for some
More than for others
It can be hard
So take our hand
This year I’m gonna be right here
Next to you
So you can be what you need to be
And I can too
Be kind to yourself this Christmas
It’s a gift
A gift that keeps on giving
Every year after year of living
The best life we can live
Let’s be present in the present
And be sure that when when you’re near me
Your presence is enough
This year I’m gonna be right here
Next to you
So you can be what you need to be
And I can too
Be kind to yourself this Christmas
So if you can be that someone
For someone who needs someone
To stand by their side
With nothing but pride
And search for the Santa inside
Kindness is not just for Christmas
You can feel it in the air
Feel the magic everywhere
It’s a gift that keeps on giving
So if you can be anything
Be kind
This year
