We stand together (song)

“We Stand Together,” this song explores children’s rights and talks about the things children need to grow up happy, healthy and safe. The song was written and composed by Sara Lewis, Dyfan Jones and Year 3 from Creigiau Primary School.

We suggest singing the song in a circle with your group, with you leading the actions (you may want to use Makaton Signs).
