Rhyme
‘n’ Rhythm is a
music group aimed at children between six months and four years of age.
By using songs, actions, poems and a variety of percussion instruments,
children can learn to appreciate and enjoy rhythm and music.
The first half-hour comprises songs and rhymes, with
the use of a variety of instruments. The remaining half-hour is an informal
time of refreshments, chat and play. We hope that parents/carers will
encourage the children by participating as much as possible in the songs
and with the actions.
