Shared Book Response - "I am the Music Man" Integration of Music & Numbers

Kia Ora Whanau, 

I always feel delightful to share the learning experiences our tamariki/children learn at school or in classrooms with our Whanau/families. This week's shared book was - "I am the Music Man" and we all had practiced singing the beautiful songs from the book. We had also explored a range of musical instruments where we identified them first using our prior knowledge. The illustrator of the book - Debra Potter has used 6 different types of instruments in the book and they are - Piano, Saxophone, Big Bass drum, Xylophone, Violin & Trombone. Everyone joined in by using several types of musical instruments together in making the music man a fun and a joyful musical experience in Room 8. All children loved these traditional rhyme and singing along also helped them to develop number skills. Below is the picture of the front cover:  

We had also discussed everyone has a different hobby or passion that they love to carry on or would love to learn in future such as learning any musical instrument, gymnastics, or learning any self-defense skills - Judo, Taekwondo, and Karate. 

Below are our pictures and a video showing our participation in class by singing along with Mrs. Kaur and we hope everyone will love to watch us. 

Here's the youtube link for this book if you would like to read with your child again and again which is linked with literacy programme.
