SPANISH
Every child has a natural gift for learning languages. Introducing your child to a second language in the early years allows them to retain this language learning ability throughout their life while helping to develop confidence and self-esteem.
Spanish with Ms Elba introduces the Spanish language in a fun, natural way. Children learn vocabulary and conversational skills guided by their own curiosity and through the use on interesting visuals and materials such as puppets, toys, posters, flash cards, story books, songs, art, cultural associations, games, mimics and anything that the imagination supplies.

MUSIC
Each Friday, the school is filled with the excitement of music with our Music Together program. Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program and movement program for children and the adults who love them. The Basic Music Together Philosophy is that all children are musical. Therefore, all children can achieve basic music competence. This means that all children can learn to sing in tune with accurate rhythm.
| PRIMARY COMMUNITY |
| Music Together is conducted in our Primary communities. The goal of the program is to help the children grow musically and hopefully attain Basic Music Competence (BMC). BMC is achieved when your child can sing in tune and move with accurate rhythm to a beat. |
| ELEMENTARY COMMUNITY |
In 2011, Bluebonnnet was one of 16 locations selected from 66 applicants to pilot the Big Kids Music Together program. This program prepares the child for music literacy. Exercises are performed that help the child gain a better understanding of how rhythm and tonalities work in music. The children are also guided through movement "games" that are fun and help further translate the beat of the music into their bodies.
As a class, the children explore "ensemble" and "solo" work with the different instruments. “Home Pages” are work that is done outside of music class. This work helps the children start thinking about creating music for themselves, if they haven’t already.
All of the exercises and props that are used are intended to give the child the tools to become music makers, not just music imitators. |
