The children have been continuing their learning about syllables – “parts of words” this week, with everyone clapping out syllables of Sparkle words, names and lots of other words.
We were lucky enough to have a visit (afternoon only sadly) from a visiting music specialist, David, who worked with the children to learn about the different tones to music – high and low.
The video below shows this:
In the art area, we have been talking about different objects for printing and the textures they have and the patterns they make.
Another part of our plan has included learning to balance. The children are becoming skilled at this and are enjoying practising this in different ways.
You can see some balancing skills being developed at the ActivPanel, with the children watching and copying some skill videos.
Outside, we have continued to look for signs of spring, and it is getting easier as the days get warmer. There have been more bug sightings this week!
That’s all we’ve time for this week. Enjoy your weekend and continue to watch our for our tweets at @Menzieshill_ns
