We meet every Friday throughout the year for babies, toddlers, children and their careers. We are a very friendly group and everyone is welcome. We sing songs, some of which you will remember from your childhood and some new ones that you will soon Learn, love and enjoy. We all sit sing the hello song and then choose some songs using fingers and hands. Animals are a big part of our group too, from
the naughty monkies, ducks, fish, spiders and speckled frogs. The class has instruments such as drums, maracas, bells, castanets, triangles and rain shakers, which are used for different sounds in the songs we sing. There are floaty kites and butterfly ribbons and bean bags which we use along with the songs to get the children ( and grown ups) up and active. Each week we have a rainbow parachute that the children get to hold and shake and hide under. Bubbles come out at the end of the group and the children get to know it's almost time for snacks. The snacks are plated and the grown ups choose what they would like for their little ones to eat. They've worked hard singing and shaking their instruments, and are usually thirsty and hungry by now! After snacks we do a simple craft activity. From painting to sticking, glueing and making. Along with the children.... I love this part! We celebrate special days from birthdays to Easter bunny, grown up day and Christmas. I'm proud of rise and shine and what it offers the community.
