There was a theme for this week’s music lesson – Easter chicks!  The bairns used hula hoops to pretend they were chicks inside an egg, moving their limbs in time with the music to hatch out of their shell. Next, they moved around the hall in time with the music while doing the actions for various Spring animals.   There were some epic moves during the Everybody Do This song! We had another opportunity to practice using the beaters, alternating between right and left hands and then beating with both hands together.

We got back on or bikes this week to practice starting and stopping.  The bairns also spent time maneuvering between cones.  It’s great to see their confidence building with each session.

During play in the sand pit, some of the bairns decided to take off their shoes and socks to feel the sand between their toes.  This led to a beach day.   Everybody was doing something different – having a picnic, digging, building sandcastles, sunbathing, paddling, looking for beach treasure, burying feet and taking turns to become a mermaid.

There are always opportunities for games and we love to see the bairns imagination, team work and problem solving happening during these fun activities.  Games which have small pieces such as counters, are especially helpful for developing fine motor skills.
