<h4>Feelings Song by Tom</h4><p>One of the lovely things about working with groups is that the children's creative ideas are likely to be heard and acknowledged. Once children understand that they can make up music, they spontaneously just do it! In a whole class situation, be sure to go round the groups so that you can listen, guide and help.</p>

<h4>Feelings Music Using the Instruments</h4><p>We decided to have a conductor for our music, who would help to remind us of the structure we had decided on. Our conductors did a great job! Amitie found her true vocation and made the most of her position of power! We guessed the feeling correctly and discussed what we liked about the music and how we might improve it when we had another go. </p><p>By the way, I generally divide children pretty randomly into groups - it just happened that the girls were sitting together on this occasion. With a whole class, you will know which children can be relied on to work well together.</p>

<h3>Pop-up Toast</h3><p>The children loved this little activity and it's great for when you don't have much time for a game.</p><p>Enjoy your toast!</p>

<h3>... with Pease Pudding?</h3><p>I included this song because it's one of a collection from the excellent collection at <a href="http://www.rhymes.org.uk">Amadeus Nursery Rhymes</a>. The arrangements are delightfully based on Mozart tunes and it's well worth getting the whole album. The children could learn the song and sing along with the video.</p>

Depending on where you live, choose a suitable place for a visit.</p><p>In Lancashire, for example:</p><ul><li>The butterfly house at Williamson Park, Lancaster </li><li>Windmill Animal Farm, Burscough</li><li>Turbary Woods Owl and Bird of Prey Sanctuary</li></ul><p>In London, for example:</p><p>The Science Museum and the British Museum in London have sections specifically for pre-school children. Visits obviously need careful planning using a high level of supervision and following formal guidelines in the case of nursery schools.</p>                                                                    <div class="img img_sml">        <img class="lazy_img" src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/jason-leung-737289-unsplash.jpg" alt="Jason Leung 737289 Unsplash">    </div>
