We offer a Movement and Drama session which has proved very popular with the children. This session combines music, story, dance and movement to provide children with a huge range of learning opportunities, particularly in ‘Communication, literacy and language’, ‘Creative development’ and ‘Physical Development’. The session uses repetition in the form of rhymes and songs to familiarise children with how the session runs and enables them to feel part of it. The key area is to encourage children in public speaking and helping them gain confidence. The session finishes with a ‘cool down’ where the children listen to soothing music as bubbles are blown over them.
These sessions focus on creative and expressive development as the children listen and respond to a wide range of different types of music. The children work in small groups giving them a more intimate experience and learn about rhythm (good for early reading skills), play a range of musical instruments, learn how to describe sound and tone (develops speech and language skills and early reading skills) and explore how to express themselves using their body when responding to a piece of music. These sessions help to develop children’s confidence and performance skills.’
