Reception Music: Welcoming Characters to our Party with Musical instruments.

In Music, Reception class were thinking about different fairy tale characters. As they all arrived at our party we greeted them with different musical instruments depending on their characters. When Cinderella arrived, the children played bells because she was graceful and beautiful. When Rumpelstiltskin knocked on the door the drums were banged because he was not a friendly person. Finally, when the Big Bad Wolf arrived the cymbals were crashed together loudly!

Pre School- Music- Rhyme Time

Today the children have enjoyed using the musical instruments to create loud and quiet sounds and singing different nursery rhymes to match the sounds they are making with the musical instruments. The children began by tapping quietly and then changing the sound when we move the instruments faster and louder.

Reception Class - A Music Lesson at the Church!

Whilst visiting our local Church, we decided to have our music lesson there. We learnt that during services the congregation like to dance around the Church to a lively song when they give their money, so we also danced around the Church! Then the children enjoyed playing the African drums, shakers and tambourines to "King of me!"
