Today we had a very special treat- Theo brought his mum, Hazel, and his little sister, Sally, to nursery.\u00a0 Theo and his mum both brought interesting boxes with them.\u00a0 We all sat in a circle and we all sang “Knock, knock, knock -What’s in the Box?”\u00a0 Hazel was first to open her box – Sally was Hazel’s special helper and helped get 3 very interesting looking pieces of a musical instrument\"\"<\/a> out and put them together.<\/p>\n

Hazel told us the instrument was an oboe, and asked us how we thought she might play it.\u00a0 We thought you would have to blow into\u00a0it.\u00a0 Hazel gave it a go, but it didn’t really make a sound.\u00a0 Hazel then brought out a little box – again we sang, “What’s in the Box?”\u00a0 Hazel took out something that she said was a reed.\u00a0 She blew it and it made a funny noise, a bit like a chicken.\u00a0 When she put the reed into the oboe, though, something magical happened.\u00a0 She played the most beautiful music.\u00a0 Hazel also played us the Sonya the Duck’s theme from Peter and the Wolf, which we had watched on Youtube last Friday.\u00a0 It was wonderful – we pretended to paddle along like ducks in the water, and when the music changed we had to flap like Sonya when she was trying to get away from the Wolf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\"\"T <\/a>heo then opened his instrument case- he had a teeny, tiny, Theo-sized violin. \u00a0He played Frere Jaques beautifully, plucking the strings. He was amazing!! We all gave him a big round of applause! \u00a0After Theo’s solo, Hazel taught us a great action song about a penguin and then we all sang “Jingle Bells” with Hazel accompanying us on the oboe.<\/p>\n

Thank you Hazel and Theo for a really lovely musical session and for coming back to share it again with our afternoon children, who loved it just as much as the morning group! It was a wonderful experience- Hazel has an amazing way of involving all the children with lots of participation and actions and we all learned lots while having great fun!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
