Every week children explore a new theme linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and then learn songs and dances from their end of term show! Our classes are designed to build confidence whilst allowing the children individual traits to be nurtured and encouraged!
The Syllabus
Our mini musical theatre syllabus is underpinned by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which sets the standards for learning, development and care of a child from birth to five years old.
Here at Let’s Act we choose to create our classes and activities to link with and promote the following areas of learning, thereby supporting your child to have the best early learning experience to promote their all-round development.
Seven Key Areas
- Communication and Language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development (PSED)
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
We make reference to these areas of learning, within our lesson plans and at the back of each of our bespoke, class stories.
The Authors
All materials have been written by Miss Amy, a qualified speech and drama teacher and Miss Liz, a primary school teacher, and previous assistant headteacher (PGCE and Masters in Educational Studies) both with over 15 years experience of working with and teaching children aged 3-18.
Our Aims
- To develop children’s speech (articulation)
- To introduce new vocabulary
- To grow self-esteem and emotional intelligence
- To encourage individuality and self-expression
Class Structure
1. Magical Adventure
Classes are both imagination and script based. In our first section of the class children take part in a weekly magical adventure where all themes are taken from the EYFS. This changes every week and involves a problem that the children need to solve using their singing and performance skills. Our rainbow parachute is used so that we can go on a magical journey to help our character of the week, every class involves learning a new poem!
2. Show Work
Next we work on our show! This term it is – The Tale of the Christmas Tree! We play fun games, sing songs, share poems and create characters to improve children’s confidence and articulation!
3. Marvin’s Musical Melodies
We finish our session with Marvin’s Musical Melodies. Every week, Marvin will pop out from where he has been hiding and teach the children a new musical theatre song and dance from their favourite films!
