The songs can be used during our silver circle with the seniors via zoom. We can sing the songs and do actions with them during our racial harmony and NDP sessions with them. ]]> 2022-06-03 09:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209997677 Masturah https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209997764 I enjoyed that there are different ways for me to teach the cultural dance at least even a little bit.

1. I really enjoy the cultural dance. Being able to use classroom items or body percussions to dance to the music.

2. Having locomotive movements and axial movement in our M&M activity makes the activity more vibrant and interesting.]]> 2022-06-03 09:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998592 April https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998739 1.) I enjoyed the song "Let's sing Hello" because it's catchy and I can use it as a tuning-in activity in my class whenever we start music lesson or even other curriculum lessons.

. Exposing children to cultural songs through movements and usage of props like ribbons, scarfs ]]> 2022-06-03 09:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998796 Gwen https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998899 I want to start trying the "Let's Sing Hello Song" . I think it would be a good transition to gather everyone's attention and to start the lesson.

I like all the movement activities as it gets the children to keep thinking and thinking of different moves which pushes their creativity.]]> 2022-06-03 09:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998899 Siying https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998920 1: I enjoyed the mrt song. I will be implementing this activity to my children and changing the stations names to familiar stations. I have a child with autism and he recites the name of the train stations in class daily so I think he will really enjoy this song. 

2: I liked the ideas/ dance steps for the various cultural songs. Dancing with a ribbon felt really graceful, and since my class consists of all boys, I would love to make them dance with ribbons!]]> 2022-06-03 09:08:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998920 - Nurbaizurah Rahim 21n01217 https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998973 1. I really like the various ways I can teach different cultural songs in varied ways using instruments, body percussions and things in the classroom.
2. I also like how the song "Take a Little Ride on the MRT" can be integrated with other domains such as Discovery of the World. It invites the children to learn more about their environment and Singapore.]]> 2022-06-03 09:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209998973 Syafiqah https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999170 1. I like how we can put in endless variations to all sorts of songs in terms of movements, body percussion and space awareness. The ideas given were fantastic!!
2. I also like how the question "what else can I do?" is consistently being reinforced because that really stimulates our creativity!

Thank you so much for this very engaging, interactive and enlightening workshop, absolutely enjoyed it so much! :)]]> 2022-06-03 09:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999170 Lau Shiang Jiun https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999209 1. I love how combining locomotive and body percussion into the songs introduced and tips on starting these activities with children on the floor start them off grounded first. 

2. The value of improvisation with each song is a great experience for me.

The songs are engaging and easy to replace with words. It would be easy for the children also to think of their own words to fit in the music. 

It widen my skills in teaching elements of music such as form and rhythm. Now it would be easier for me to plan music activities for children in just using one song.

I like how we were reminded to appreciate each child's inviduality when thinking of actions and keeping at Singapore based.

The hello song is the highlight of the day! It opened my mindset to teach a song in endless way

]]> 2022-06-03 09:09:26 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999371 Renice https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999462 1. I like that the songs are based on local context and relatable for the children. They will be interested and have a easier time catching on to the lyrics. 

2. I like that there are so many ways to incorporate different actions in the songs and the variety of locomotive and axial movements.]]> 2022-06-03 09:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999462 Siti Nurjeeha Ramlee https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999526 1. Firstly, I really enjoyed how the songs depicts the Singapore theme and culture. I like the songs that is being introduced. I will include these songs in my lessons if possible. Introducing these songs also helps the children to be introduced to Singapore and have a sense of belonging when singing the songs.

2. I like how everything is taught step by step. It allows us to have a better understanding and it makes things easier for us to follow. Similarly, I will practice these in a classroom setting. ]]> 2022-06-03 09:09:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999526 Nurzahariah https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999546 Two takeaways from today's workshop. I like that this workshop has a theme that is something that the children can relate to like the MRT, etc. They can contribute more ideas and actions if they are confident in their answers.

I enjoyed learning about the diffferent cultural dances. It is good to expose the cchildren to various types of music and they are able to use body percussion as well as movements and objects to move to the music.
thank you for this enjoyable workshop.

I love to explore on different genres and to share with the class. I love the Hello song and will introduce this for next term as our daily opening songs.

I love all the songs shared here. It is aligned with our upcoming Racial Harmony and National Day. Introducing different simple props like ribbons and scarves, are enough to explore various movements.]]> 2022-06-03 09:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999559 Jasmine https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999671 I like that the songs shared are of Singapore context and can be easily used during circle time. Actions and lyrics can be changed based on the children's suggestions.

Understood the difference between steady and rhythmic better as well.]]> 2022-06-03 09:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999671 Jane Ang https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2209999833

Takeaway 1: To think outside the box as there are many possibilities 

Right off the bat, the very first activity already taught me how clapping of hands doesn’t restrict to just clapping in front of you but it can include clapping sideways, on top, below or even how far apart your hands are to your body. Another example would be, flying. My first thought when told to do a flying action was to fly like a bird but i was taught that flying could also mean flying like a plane, flying like a small or a big bird.

Takeaway 2: To make use of items that can be found around us

During the cultural dances, We have made use of easily found items like ribbons and paper plates for the cultural dances. I think its a great ideas as its something i would have not taught of. Would definitely be carrying out these activities!

I like the different ways the props were used to teach music for example the ribbons paper plates,etc. it was fun for me and I am sure the children will definitely enjoy this.]]> 2022-06-03 09:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2210000475 https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2210001157 I learnt many ways to teach the cultural song  . I enjoyed the songs and going use them in my classroom. I have more ideas using more creative way to carry my Music lesson in class. I also understand that I should take the step by step approach to use different ways and props to teach a song. I have understood the music element forms better too and how to demonstrate to the class.

1. I learned how to contextualize the music for the children, for instance, the words used, repetition of the lyrics etc.
2. How to conduct music lessons with the song and instrumental music to the children.
It is a very insightful training in the comprehensive course content. Appreciate the efforts of you! ]]> 2022-06-03 09:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2210001169 Aimuni aimuniliyana https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2210001324 2 take aways from the workshop:

1. I like how just by 1 song, children can really be creative and expressive. They can come up with various body movements based on the song. 
2.I always though to teach children a song, i need to make the words available for them, today i learnt about intentional listening. This makes children focus more on the songs too. 3. i enjoyed how cultural element is introduced through simple movements and simple items around them. question of the day "What else can I do" will make me think creatively. Thank you!

My take away... https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2210001897 1) I like how Ms. Lavina and friends teach variety of actions that can be use to teach 1 song! It gives me some ideas on how I teach my student with other songs too.

Thank you Lavina, Grace and team for organising it. I liked all the songs. I learnt how to teach young children in a simple and creative way. 
Its good to know that we can also use props to teach.  Children will be able to participate and be creative to do their own movements. 
Waltz - can be improvised with props. Children will be engaged and participative.
Cultural dance - Learnt :How to think out of the box and not to use the usual ways of teaching or traditional ways.
Hello song - To sing in different ways using body percussions and actions.]]> 2022-06-03 09:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/Wigglepodstraining/sunnyrun1/wish/2210014060
