Cooper Room




This week the Cooper children were very interested in using wooden blocks as guitars inside the classroom. We decided to take the CD player outside, and play music on the stage for the children to dance to and perform their music. The children used old guttering pipes to make different musical instruments and sang along too.
“It’s a guitar!” said Jack
“A flute” shouted Ammar who put the pipe to his mouth.
“Kangaroo” sung Oliver anticipating the next words on the Wiggles CD.
When the children finished their dancing they gave a bow, and Jarrah, Kristian and Jackson gave them a big applause from their seats. Later in the week in our music lesson with Mrs B. we tried our dance moves to fast and slow, high and low music. We listened to Mrs B's beautiful piano playing and also our new favourite, Justine Clark's chicken song, and enjoyed getting up and down for high and low music and running and crawling for fast and slow.
Kind regards,
Ali and Coral
