Music!
During our music sessions we have been exploring the beat of music and timing. We started off our topic using the 'menu song' and a clip from the musical 'Oliver!'. The children absolutely loved sharing this song together and we have watched the clip together as a class a few times. Here it is incase you want to share it at home too.
