Young Child week 20

Wow what a lesson we had this week!! - Probably one of my most challenging to date. There was certainly a lot of energy in that room.

One of the best ways to prepare for next week is to try to get the glockenspiel out a few times. The melodies are progressing so that this week you have brought home the complete music for Lucy Locket.

See if you can sing the notes along to the music and then try to master the whole thing on the glockenspiel.

The clever thing about all this is that the children are building their musical knowledge without even realising it. All the preparation work we did last term learning songs moving and playing percussion has been the foundation that has enabled them to play along to the music today.

A couple of you remarked this week at how staggered you are at what your child has learnt.

Try to find a way to showcase your tune this week - perhaps you could play for your teacher or a relative.

See you all next week!
