These short films are designed to support early years practitioners to learn more nursery rhymes and ways to present them. They also aim to develop practitioners’ confidence and skills at creating their own versions that can be adapted to their individual settings and children.
Many of the songs encourage communication and language (listening and attention, understanding and speaking), literacy (reading and writing) and all explore Expressive Arts and Design.
Devised and performed by Polly Ives, Vanessa Johnson and Sooze Tooze with Kate Thompson, Philippa Wilson, and Martha Hayward
Filmed by Fraser Wilson
Managed by Kate Thompson
Part of the South Yorkshire Early Years Music Network funded by Youth Music
