BEFORE GETTING STARTED
Look again at Part 1 (Nursery World, 26 June, p16) to remind yourself about planning a session, and during the session, avoid saying 'noise' (it suggests pain!) and use instead the word 'sound'.
THE SESSION
Part 1. Warming up
- Ask the children to move about the room, using their bodies to make the sounds. 'Stamp your feet loudly around the room. Use the whole of your foot as you stamp down on to the ground.' 'Tiptoe around the room. Walk as lightly as you can. How quiet can you be?' 'As you stride about the room, make a sound with your voice every time your foot hits the ground.' This last movement is complicated and children will need to have lots of experience of making sounds while stationary and then doing two things at the same time with their body.
