and will be taught by Peter Malarkey from Monday 1st – 5th July in Tech Amergin Education & Arts Centre.

 In this course you will learn how to help improve the child’s musical co-ordination by engaging in musical activities which integrate closely with the physical education curriculum. (use of skipping ropes, balls, hula hoops and clapping games etc). Explore the background to picking rhymes and how they can be used to create a sense of fairness in the playground therefore making close links with the S.P.H.E. curriculum.

Identify a variety of ways of making sounds using body percussion in pairs and in small and large groups  tapping, clapping, slapping, clicking
creating more complex sequences involving slapping, clapping, clicking etc. and alternating left and right hands or feet.

Engage in a creative writing activity in groups, to compose a play/work song with accompanying actions and / or adapt a previous song to conform to modern society, perform it showing an increasing awareness of the musical elements explored during this week and teach this to the group.

Please note this course can only be booked and paid for online at www.edcentretralee.ie / http://www.edcentretralee.ie/cpd-courses-tralee-kerry/summer-courses.html?limitstart=0

Tech Amergin’s next test screening in association with Access Cinema will take place on Thursday 16th May, 8pm.

Move over Jean Dujardin and The Artist: France’s most talked-about performance and film this year comes in the shape of this comedy that’s become the country’s second-biggest box-office hit of all time with its portrait of friendship across the racial and economic divide. Paralyzed from the neck down after an accident, gloomy millionaire Philippe (François Cluzet, Tell No One) finds little in life worth living for, until the arrival of his new assistant, Driss (Omar Sy), a Senegalese rowdy from the downtrodden banlieues. Not quite on doctor’s orders, Driss takes Philippe as far out of his comfort zone as possible and into a world he never knew existed—or rather always tried to avoid. A slapstick, gleefully incorrect throwback to ’80s culture-clash comedies like Trading Places, only played out across contemporary France’s ever-palpable racial and class tensions. Tickets €7.
