Today’s Mini Music session began with our hello song, where the children joined in with lots of actions such as jumping, swimming, digging, and climbing. Everyone had great fun getting their bodies moving!
Our focus for the session was fast and slow. Mrs White introduced a new rocket song:
“Up like a rocket, down like the rain, back and forth like a chop chop train.”
The children explored different sounds using instruments. They used beater sticks to tap the chime bars, moving from low to high sounds – just like a rocket taking off from the ground and zooming up into space!
Next, the children played claves to create the sound of raindrops, experimenting with playing fast and slow. To finish, shakers were used to keep time with the “choo choo” sound of the train.
