This is Me

The Greatest Showman

We’ve chosen this song because it reminds you to believe in yourself and feel proud of who you are. SATs week can sometimes feel a bit worrying, but this song helps us remember that doing your best is what really matters. It encourages you to be brave, stay positive, and not give up—even when things feel tricky. Most importantly, it reminds us that you are all amazing just as you are, and SATs are only one small part of your journey.

Saltwater

Julian Lennon

For Music on Monday, we’re focusing on Saltwater by Julian Lennon, a thoughtful and emotional song that connects beautifully with this week’s Earth Day theme, “Our Power, Our Planet.” The song highlights the damage humans have caused to the environment, especially the oceans, while also carrying a message of hope and responsibility. Its gentle, melodic style—blending soft rock with acoustic elements—creates a reflective mood that encourages listeners to pause and think about their impact on the world. Through its lyrics and tone, the music teaches us about awareness, empathy, and the importance of caring for the Earth, reminding us that we all have the power to make positive changes for our planet.
