There was great excitement in the ELC on Tuesday as the children
filed out and sat down ready to watch a performance by The Drumming Monkeys.
First we were introduced to Bongo
and Congo, the two Drumming Monkeys who ran the show. They taught the children
how to do some monkey yoga by reaching up to the stars, then touching their
shoulders, knees and toes. This got faster and faster, which made lots of the
children laugh with the challenge.
Next the monkeys taught us all a Friends Song in which we had to
shake hands with the person next to you, the high five them and then tickle
them.
Following this we played a copying game with the monkeys, where we
had to copy the same beat as they were doing on their drums. The children also
sang along with the DJ Congo animal song where they did actions of animals to
the words of the song, such as bouncing like a kangaroo.
There was great excitement watching the monkeys special guest, Green
Sea Turtle, jump into the little pool of water. He missed a few times, but
eventually made it! We also met Percy the penguin, who bungee jumped from six
meters high and landed on a coffee cup which he put into the recycling bin.
What great entertainment and lots of fun noises!!
