2011 Catch Up
If you missed the workshops last year you missed some fabulous new material. Here is a chance to catch up. This workshop will source music from the following new collections:
Swing This Way
The first three years of a child's life is a time of phenomenal brain growth.
This collection of new songs will give you many ideas to share with children aged 2-3 including songs for body awareness and vestibular stimulation.
Songs selected will be suitable for a preschool setting.
Stay and Play
This album recently won a gold award in the United Kingdom. It is filled with easily accessible learning for little ones. From healthy lunches and bathroom hygiene to traffic lights and turtles; the topics help children understand their world and have fun in the process.
We work on balance, gross motor skills, crossing our mid-lines and developing language and singing.
Mango Tango
Helping kids develop co-ordination can be heaps of fun. We co-ordinate the left and right sides of the body in crazy ways to help children cross all their mid-lines. Mid-line development helps children integrate their left and right brain hemispheres in readiness for formal learning. Draw circles and squares with your elbow or your toe, cook breakfast for a giant, or dance with your shadow. Fun topics and great musical arrangements that make learning a breeze.
