One of our parents is an EXPERT drummer (a music professor) Dominic kindly offered (with a little arm twisting) to come into the setting one morning and show us his drums.
The children had a great time drumming on different drums including samba pans; bongos; tom toms & cymbals!
The children were eager to have a go at playing the big drum kit....it made a LOT of noise. They were able to explore the different sounds that the different sized drums called tom toms and snare drums, made.
They enjoyed playing the big bass drum by pressing the pedal on the floor...it made a thud noise...and tapping the cymbals (called high-hat, crash and ride).
We ALL had an amazing time.
Some of the goals covered include:
Confidence in a new situation: PSE
Trying something new: PSE
Awareness of different jobs: UW
Listening; Responding and understanding instructions: CL
Playing different beats; exploring muiscal instruments EAD
SO.....
If YOU have an interesting job; an interest, a hobby, a skill, musical ability, or something YOU think that the children would find interesting and may learn something from, don’t be backward in coming forward – talk to Michele and Dawn without delay.
Your visit need only last 15-30 minutes. We would be delighted to have your help!
Everyone has something to offer...
you could even come into the setting and read your favourite story!
