Explorers - Time - Session 2 - Music

Hello everyone, it's time for music with Sean! Welcome to session two of our 'Time' scheme. This session starts and ends with the hello and goodbye songs, two new songs plus the other two songs from the last session. Here is some information about each activity in this video:

• Hello Song (Calming) - A familiar song to start each session. It is an opportunity to say hello to everyone. There is also a gap to say hello using your name too.
• Morning (Movement) - A warm up activity designed to wake up your body and mind. Copy Sean as he stretches and warms up ready for the day ahead.
• I Wake Up (Singing) - A singing activity based upon our morning routines. The focus of this activity is to explore copying Sean's singing (like an echo) and/or copying the signs and actions. There is an opportunity for students to think of their own idea for what they do in the mornings or they can be given a choice of two to choose from like 'brush my hair' or 'eat breakfast' or put on my shoes'.
• Sun Arise (Playing Instruments) - An instrumental activity which focusses on changing dynamics (quiet and loud). Can you play quietly? Can you play loudly? Do you recognise when the music is going change dynamics? Can you sing at the same time as playing?
• Everybody Says Sit Down (Movement) - A fun song to get you moving and grooving. Can you follow Sean's instructions of when to sit down and when to jump, hop or wave your hands?
• Goodbye Song (Calming) - A familiar song to end each session. It is an opportunity to say goodbye to everyone. There is also a gap to say goodbye using your name too.

There will be a new song in the next session. It will be added onto the songs featured in this video.
