Music with Mrs.Allison

This week in Primary, we celebrate Easter. We moved our bodies together using scarves to Vivaldi’s Sping. We talked about how this is a classical piece of music and that there are no words. We sang Five Little Ducks and danced to Here Comes Peter Cottontail. We even shook our own Easter eggs. We talked about the Easter Bunny, springtime and the real reason for our Easter celebration, Jesus! They had a blast!
