Welcome back after the long weekend everyone, we hope you had a great St Patrick’s Day & Mother’s Day! This week in The Children’s House we’ll be learning all about the sense of sound, & doing a lot of fun games, music & activities to explore this sense. We will be singing the Wheels on the Bus using Lámh signs (this is the hand signing system in Ireland), & learning about loud & soft sounds. The children will be playing games of ‘guess that sound’ – isolating the sense of sound & listening without seeing what’s making the sound e.g. from objects in a box. We will be playing musical instruments, using the sound boxes Montessori activity (matching sounds of different volumes) & making paper cup phones! The children will also be listening to different types of music to see what the sounds make them think of, or what feeling it gives them.
