Percussion & Pastels

Marina and Denton's explorations in chalk pastel.

On Wednesday & Thursday, we continued learning about the Jungle as well as the letter ‘P’. We read Over in the Jungle, a book with beautiful polymer clay illustrations by Jeanette Canyon. Then we learned a new song, Look at the Monkeys.

In music, we continued playing the conductor game with percussion instruments. The children were introduced to musical terms piano (soft) and forte (loud).

The children explored chalk pastels in art, and enjoyed mixing colours and smudging the medium around with their fingers.
