Every week children explore a new theme linked to the Early Years Foundation Stage framework and then learn songs and dances from their end of term show! Our classes are designed to build confidence whilst allowing the children individual traits to be nurtured and encouraged!

The Syllabus

Our mini musical theatre syllabus is underpinned by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) which sets the standards for learning, development and care of a child from birth to five years old.

Here at Let’s Act we choose to create our classes and activities to link with and promote the following areas of learning, thereby supporting your child to have the best early learning experience to promote their all-round development.

Mini Musical Theatre - Children having Fun

Seven Key Areas

  • Communication and Language
  • Physical development
  • Personal, social and emotional development (PSED)
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Expressive arts and design

We make reference to these areas of learning, within our lesson plans and at the back of each of our bespoke, class stories.

Class Structure

1. Magical Adventure

Classes are both imagination and script based. In our first section of the class children take part in a weekly magical adventure where all themes are taken from the EYFS. This changes every week and involves a problem that the children need to solve using their singing and performance skills. Our rainbow parachute is used so that we can go on a magical journey to help our character of the week, every class involves learning a new poem!

2. Show Work

Next we work on our show! This term it is – The Tale of the Christmas Tree! We play fun games, sing songs, share poems and create characters to improve children’s confidence and articulation!

3. Marvin’s Musical Melodies

We finish our session with Marvin’s Musical Melodies. Every week, Marvin will pop out from where he has been hiding and teach the children a new musical theatre song and dance from their favourite films!
