Drumming with Joy!

Leave a comment

Primary 2A have had a great experience over the past term playing and learning the drums with Joy.

Every week we journeyed to the library and took part in a varied repertoire of songs and beats. The children demonstrated excellent listening skills, along with rhythm and dancing. They really enjoyed these sessions and looked forward to expressing themselves with the music. To celebrate their achievements they performed one of their newly learned songs in front of the infant years. P2A did an amazing job showing off their talents in-front of the crowd.

Afterwards they listened well to the other year groups who were also excellent. At the end of the show the whole infant department had a boogie with their teachers and Joy who was keeping them dancing with the upbeat music.

Some of the children even came to dance in the middle. What dancers we have in 2A! They had some fantastic moves! I think it is fair to say, we are all very thankful to Joy for her fun sessions and we are looking forward to partaking in more drumming experiences in the future.

Great job everyone 🙂

Dough Challenges!

Leave a comment

We love playing with dough in Primary 1!

Dough play is so beneficial to our fine motor, finger and hand strength and our imaginations and creativity.

Today, after a dough disco the class wanted to make ‘s’ with our playdough as it is our first phonics sound. We used our fingers to roll the dough long before creating the shape of a ‘s’, the class began suggesting words that have the ‘s’ sound in them.

We ended our dough time with a dough challenge, to make an item or a character and to create a story around them. We had a super hero snail, a snowman from the North Pole who was confused when it was Christmas, a unicorn in search of a chocolate factory and even a Mrs Sjoberg who was looking for her lost class. Lots of positive listening and talking skills as well as a whole lot of fun.
