Spooky Instruments and Doughnuts

This week was a real success in engaging both the younger and older children throughout the class. In preparation for Halloween, I brought out a "spooky" instrument known as the thunder drum. This is a very unique and fun instrument that two older boys were fascinated by. After we took turns with this instrument the older boys were keen to stay for the rest of the class and even enjoyed The Hokey Pokey, which is traditionally a song meant for younger children and toddlers. The icing on the cake (or doughnut?) this week, was that I was also sent home with warm, home-made doughnuts that some of the women had been baking during the time I was there. I appreciate this community a lot.
