This morning we brought in our big drum to explore! At first we talked about how important the drum is and what is ok to do on the drum. Talking with the children and setting those boundaries and limits has given them the confidence to use the drum safely. The children explored with their hands drumming and feeling the vibrations by laying their palms flat on the drum. After the children explored with their hands for a while we then introduced a drum stick with a padded end the children could use. One by one the children passed it around each having a turn! This made a different sound RA used her stick to go fast and make quick beats, TW was unsure at first and began gently tapping the drum at a slow beat, MS made big moves with her arm as she brought the stick down onto the drum, OB made soft drum beats using the stick, EB used her right hand to maneuver the drum stick, DT had a big smile excited to try out her drumming skills! LS her peers from afar. Stay tuned as we revisit the drum!
