What a great time we had in today's lesson dancing and singing in the rain. We shared our home made rain shakers and played them while we sang our rain song. All the while without really realising it we have been learning about staccato (short detached sounds), and we have begun to use a basic form of musical notation. We are also continuing to learn and devlop our understanding of pulse a crucial foundation skill for our musical development, but also of great benefit to our coordination skills and general learning.
The children's singing is really flourishing too. I noticed particularly this week how well we are singing, pitching the notes acurately and joining in much more.
Next week we continue our rain dancing and singing. The chidlren have been asked to make rain hats at home. you can construct your hats however you like and the home book will give you lots of ideas.
If you are after a quick hat idea have a look at these 60 second hats.
