Ballet Preparation

Heather explained to the children that preparing for a ballet show or any concert where there is an audience who watch music or other kinds of activities takes a lot of time and effort. Props are needed and the participants dress carefully, paying attention to their costumes, hair and even their nails. The children were keen to have their nails done before the ballet ring with Bethany demonstrating.

Ballet a la Beth

In keeping with our themes on music and dance, Beth donned her tutu and showed us some excellent ballet poses. The children then had a chance to copy what she did. We all had great fun regardless of wether we were simply watching or taking part.

Noise, noise, noise!

Today we went back to the beginning of music - the way children often begin at home. It was very noisy using pots and pans but just as exciting as using teaspoons to test the sounds that different materials around the room make.
