All Souls
Our All Souls Adventure explores aspects of Halloween and the Mexican Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos). This topic doesn't have to be scary and indeed the closest we get to this is letting the imagination run wild with J.S. Bach and Saint-Saëns! We find that this topic naturally sets children's imaginations alight musically so why not include some musical ideas at this time of year?
By joining in the children will:
-
explore what a piece of J.S. Bach's most famous organ music could be for;
-
play a game of Halloween musical chase and create a rhythm potion with our wonderful poem "Caterpillar! Bat!";
-
hear some xylophone skeletons;
-
experience and join in with a Mexican song Vida y La Muerte, chosen because Mexico celebrates the Día de los Muertos;
-
join in with and learn about string quartets with Paganini's Witches' Dance; and
-
count along with our own 5 Little Bats.
Which Areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage are covered
The information in this quick glance guide is SUPPLEMENTARY to how the Lesson Adventures cover the seven areas of learning as set out in the Harmony's Music Club and the Early Years Framework document which can be found here. It is not to be read in isolation.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
We all know that accidents happen - that cups of tea and coffee get spilled, that pieces of paper get put in a pile never to be found again.. and consequently Harmony's Music Club does not limit downloads of Lesson Adventures.
We also do not require you to subscribe to access our material on a quarterly or yearly basis so that you have the freedom to pick and choose the material which you want when you want and because we know that not all schools have the same financial resources at their disposal.
However, in exchange for this, we do ask that you use your judgment in how many Lesson Adventures you put in your basket to reflect how many teachers will be using them. Please respect this so that we do not have to raise our prices.
