"Music is the heart of life." - Franz Liszt

The weeks are flying by so fast, today we started preparing our classroom for Christmas and made a plan together of what we need and would like to do throughout Advent.

This week we read the story of Elmer, we thought about what kind words we could say to Elmer so he would realize how special he is. We talked about what our favourite colour is and why we like it…Then we used 2Count on Purple Mash to find out which colours most people liked in our class.

In RE we talked about what gifts God has given our friends, we thought about how our friends use their gifts to help other people.

Pink Floyd, our Reception house band, have been leading the way in our live outdoor performances. The children were so enthused by their performance we decided we would gather all the instruments we could find. We had a try at playing the keyboard, guitar, xylophone and many more. We counted beats and made repeating patterns in small groups with the instruments. We hope you enjoy the video below, its just a little snippet of our musical week.
