Extending an interest

Today a small group of girls came up and asked... "Can we please do some highland dancing"?  It was a really cold morning so the dancing was a great idea to help us warm up.  We sorted out the projecter and connected up the iPad - exploring technological awareness to follow through on the plan.  Soon we were ready to go.  The music started and it was time to practise our steps this took concentration, persistence and co-ordination. He pai to kanikani - great dancing!

As the girls danced small groups of children were drawn in by the music to watch and be part of the experience.  As the dancing continued a variety of children came and took a risk to give it a go.
Being involved in musical experiences provides our children with the opportunity to discover and develop different ways to be creative and expressive.





What a great idea girls it's so fun to exercise our bodies in such a fun way.  Highland dancing takes precision and practise I look forward to learning more about the steps with you.
