The Kodaly programme is now in it’s third week and is proving to be a success with the children. Through fun and interactive games, rhymes and songs the children have been using their voice to create sound and rhythm in various ways. Within this large group situation, children have also been learning to take turns and have been learning the difference between quiet and loud and fast and slow.

A huge welcome back to all our families both returning and new. The new children within the Rainbow room have been playing alongside their peers and building relationships along the way. They have been having lots of fun exploring both the indoor and outdoor environment, and all the experiences available to them.

The children in the Early Level have been building relationships through their play as they get to know each other by name. They have been learning how to work together, share and cooperate, while included in a variety of play situations. Practitioners are encouraging these newly developing friendships by role modelling emotional literacy.
