Let's Dance
The Children on Tuesday were absolutely delighted to be supported in their desire to have an impromptu 'disco". The Kookaburras joined the Pelicans in their room for a fun dance and the children decided whether they wanted to be a dancer or in the audience. Chairs were arranged so the audience could be close to the action. Some children chose to be at the front leading the dance, while others were happy to fine tune their rhythmic skills at the back or in the middle of the group. This experience was child initiated and supported by the teacher with some very fine dance moves shown by the boys and girls. The "traffic dance" shown by Mrs Nichol was a favourite and challenged even the most co-oridnated dancer. A congo line was formed with Mrs Dickson at the lead and managed to go quite a distance between both the pre-school rooms. Of course no disco would be complete without "Eye of the Tiger" along with "the floss" and Mrs Steinman as DJ certainly ensured the 4/5 year old musical expectations were met. It was a lot of fun and it was good to see all of the children participated fully in the spontaneous disco.
