Hey Dee Ho

Hey dee ho music aim to provide the children plus their educators an opportunity to have fun together sharing the pleasure of music. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and non-threatening. No pressure to participate is placed on any child and minimal restriction is placed on children who spontaneously respond to the music.
The program includes music ranging from standard nursery rhymes to more contemporary songs such as those from The Wiggles and Hi 5. All activities are designed to stimulate childhood development. These include fine and gross motor skills, cognitive development, turn taking (important in the development of developing interactive social behaviour), spatial awareness, listening skills and more. This program also introduces segments on “Auslan signing” and other languages as well as “musical stories” where children are taught the “sol fa” to encourage tuneful singing.
Hey dee ho program is offered on alternate days of the week each term to ensure every child has an opportunity to participate in this programs.
