Education Scotland is delighted to support Children's Classic Concerts' Roving Reviewers education resource for primary schools. This resource can help learners to meet the expressive arts and literacy experiences and outcomes in Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence.

The examples given in this eye-catching resource support and encourage teachers to extend their practice to teach the experiences and outcomes in both literacy and music in an innovative and creative way. Moreover, the literacy-related methods adopted will help to build confidence with teachers in delivering music throughout broad general education.

Using the Roving Reviewers resource

Roving Reviewers helps children learn the difference between fact and opinion, find their voice and articulate their unique thoughts and feelings. It is suitable for learners at the first and second level. 

This resource can be used flexibly at a pace that suits you and offers opportunities for individual, group and class working. You can also tailor activities to suit topic working. For example, musical examples given can be swapped for any other musical performance audio or video to align with class interests.
