Magical Music

We are crazy about music in Infants and Toddlers at the moment! We are having a great time exploring different instruments and making music!

 This is our new Piano Mat. We just stand on it and it makes music! We can choose from 8 different instruments and it plays the corresponding sound when we stand or press on the keys.

The Infant and Toddler drummer band! What lovely music you made this morning tamariki! Drums are awesome instruments to play and can be easily played by all children.

Our focus for this term is Music. We will have this as our underlying interest throughout the entire term. we have already done a lot of really exciting musical activities with the children. Here are some photos of what the tamariki have been up to. Music is a great way for the children to learn and have fun at the same time. They can experiment with different ways of making music, use different instruments, learn about cause and effect, for example, how drums make sounds and they experience the joy of movement and dance.

Inthu brought in her piano accordion. The children played along with her using our instruments. The children really enjoyed listening, and in some cases dancing, to Inthus music.



We love getting our scarves out! We have a song called 'make your scarf fly high' and this is becoming very popular with our Infants and Toddlers.
