Themes
Sessions often have a theme that provide a focus for experience and skill development.
Rhythm/ sound & song lines

Children had a choice of making an easy xylophone or rattle. They all sounded wonderful.
Blobsters, creatures, places and stories

Time for free play with materials and then see what happens.
Den making &
finding things, listening, taking turns, leading, being silly, noises, movements, expression and connection.
