Event Tag
Children love to move, run wriggle & jump. They also love to sing & make sound. Providing musical opportunities is vital to early childhood learning. Using their bodies for emotional expression, singing and moving in a variety of ways can aid in children’s’ optimum learning, their confidence and later fitness. Combining a global mix of music and movement with approaches to wellbeing from a range of traditions, this workshop will assist teachers and carers to actively encourage children to immerse themselves in the joy of sound and movement.
