Help children to listen to music and watch dance when opportunities arise, encouraging them to focus on how sound and movement develop from feelings and ideas. Recognise that children can become fascinated by a pattern of actions or interactions with tools and materials, gaining confidence over extended periods of time. Encourage and support the inventiveContinue reading “EAD CM PR R4”
