Chicklets This month many of the Chicklets children have found their feet and are beginning to take their first few steps independently! Although some of the children are not quite there yet, they are practicing hard using the walkers both indoors and outdoors. Alongside finding their feet, the children have also begun to experiment with moving their whole bodies to sounds they enjoy. We have seen some very impressive dance moves: from bouncing up and down, moving their arms up and down, and clapping their hands. With their interest in music and dancing growing, we have encouraged their interests by providing access to musical instruments and musical books. The Chicklets have become very involved in these activities and are starting to join in with a range of different songs such as ‘Wind The Bobbin Up’, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' and ‘If You’re Happy and You Know It'. Additionally, to support this interest further we have taken a lot of the children along to participate in Tiny Dancers in the Ducklings room. The children seemed to have loved this and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of listening to the music, joining in with actions to different songs, popping bubbles, playing musical instruments, and exploring different materials. Please bring your child’s favourite book to nursery to help us plan!
