“The sessions are themed to compliment whatever topic we are doing at the time and really enhance the childrens’ learning experience.
Whilst enjoying using the different instruments and singing with Calypso, the children are also gaining essential attention and listening skills, developing their language skills, enhancing their creative development and even working on their fine and gross motor skills!”
Shipston Pre-School.
“Our Children absolutely love their visit from Calypso the frog!”
What happens in a Calypso Kids class?
The class begins with the children asking Calypso the frog “What’s in the lily pad today?” When opened, the lily pad reveals the class theme and two instruments to be explored and played. Each week there is a new adventure – helping Calypso on the farm, digging in the garden, learning to count – however the structure of the classes remains the same so the children know what to expect. The children then have buckets of musical fun with the instruments and other carefully chosen props such as puppets, ribbons and scarves.
Songs are sung to aid speech and language development.
The children participate in action songs to develop coordination.
Listening skills are developed as the children explore the instruments.
A variety of props are used to stimulate imagination.
The class ends with our goodbye song and a ‘high five’ from Calypso.
