Music, movement, singing, dancing and drama ....
Singing, dancing and movement is embedded in our daily curriculum. Teachers use singing to support transitions, group times and learning. You will hear singing at different times of the day and the children learn many new songs when attending John Brotchie. In our daily routine we have music and movement group time which is usually at the end of the day. These group times are planned and led by the teacher. they include a variety of activites including, singing, dancing, percussive instruments, circle games, and movement activities.
We also have a specialist music teacher- Fiz Halsey. Fiz is an experienced early childhood teacher and a talented musician. She plays the piano, guitar and ukelele. Fiz works once a week, as well as running music grouptimes with the children she also mentors the teachers, so to support our music program across the whole week.
