We will enjoy many types of music, however we will start with familiar nursery rhymes, then move towards unfamiliar songs that children will learn and hopefully come to enjoy. We will also be using different types of music to move our bodies such as classical, fiddle, jazz, rock and more. Music is also a part of play for children whether they are listening to music or creating music they can incorporate music into play.

 Taking risks and moving our bodies develops confidence and resilience. It builds body skills such as balance, coordination, physical literacy and so much more. Movement is also so much fun for children and they love opportunities to move, jump, spin, whether they are doing it themselves or are in a parent's arms.

Children love songs, whether signing themselves or listening to a song from others. Song tells a story, there is rhythm and in many children’s songs there is rhyme. This is important for language development, speech, cognitive growth and sometimes just the enjoyment of having fun.

Having the opportunity to enjoy rhyme is beneficial to children's speech development, social skills, understanding and learning about sounds, communication, boosting language and literacy development and so much more!
