Group TIme October 3

Teacher Question: How does music make us think and feel?

We've been exploring how sounds make us feel, today the children explored a piece of music and thought about how it made them feel. After a few seconds of listening to the Irish jig had the children began bouncing and laughing. They wanted to move and dance! Ribbons in hand, the children danced and twirled in time to the music. Indeed the music made us all feel happy! Have a listen too!

Exploring how music makes us feel through art!
It's been my experience that certain materials bring delight to children and it is these that the children used to create "happy pictures" as they listened to the jig. A blizzard of sparkles, feathers, pompoms, and shiny paint occurred as they intently created and bounced to the music!
