Music
Musical notes
On Wednesday afternoon, Juniper enjoyed listening to a song called Make You Feel My Love, originally by Bob Dylan and then re-recorded by Adele. They learnt some of the lyrics and had a go at singing along. In addition to this, they also played some notes from the song on the glockenspiel. Each week they will be learning more notes, until hopefully they can play the whole tune. Watch this space!
