Music Thursdays
At BestStart Allenton we are so lucky to have Michelle join us on Thursdays to teach us about music. Tamariki love this experince as they get to explore new skills and engage in reciprocal relationships with one another. They all get so excited when they see Michelle walk in and run to sit down to engage in music.
We learn new songs and sing and play along with Michelle. The tamariki love being able to explore new instruments and get guidance on how to use these. Tamairki are learning about musical instruments from the recorder to the ukelele. Michelle is so patient as she supports the tamariki and teaches them new songs and skills. It is wonderful watching the progress of the tamariki as they slowly develop these new skills and gain the confidence to try new things and enjoy their interactions with their peers.
As they play music they are working on their motor skills as well as social interactions with their peers and Michelle as she supports them to play their new instruments. Parents love that their tamariki get the opportunity to engage in a different learning experience while at preschool.
We look forward to continuing to engage in these experiences with the support of volunteers within our community.
