SPECIAL COURSES 

At Melodie we acknowledge the importance of music and physical activity to young children. It is part of daily life here at school. In addition to having regular play time where kids can freely express themselves and explore, we also have many active classes with specialist teachers. Activities include karate, Latin dancing, and football.

Karate: Great for coordination, discipline, health and self-confidence.

Dancing: A wonderful way to keep active and learn to love music and dancing, as well as improving a child's balance, stability, sensitivity, and responsiveness.

Football: Keep physically active while having fun with friends playing the beautiful game. Experience team work and nurture your fighting spirit, while improving the sense of competition and fairness.

Orff Music: We have a wide variety of instruments for children to use and explore. We have a daily ‘Music Time’ where children enjoy the fun and communal feeling of singing and dancing with their friends. We also hope this early exposure to music and rhythm can ignite a love of music that they carry with them forever.

The Orff approach is a way of introducing and teaching children about music on a level that they can easily comprehend. Musical concepts are learned through singing, chanting, dance, movement, drama and the playing
