For the second of our series of feelgood songs, we've crossed the Atlantic to the UK, 1967, and The Kinks' classic "Waterloo Sunset". Which gives plenty of scope to work on emotions, and London landmarks Waterloo Station and the Thames. Pupils can start by watching a Biobox about the year 1967 in music before going on to answer a quiz, learn about The Kinks and analyse the song.
The downloadable worksheet can be filled in directly in the pdf, then saved with a new name so it can be sent to the teacher for correction.
