The MAD Academy Newsletter – Spring 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new for
this term?
As always we have lots of
exciting new elements for the spring
term! For the babies we will be
discovering and enjoying textures. The sense
of touch is one of the most
important and stimulating for children at
this age and we will be letting
them explore and feel a whole range
of objects designed to help them begin
to understand the world around them. Our
walkers to 2 will be captivated by
our transport section. Designed to promote
their burgeoning vocabulary we will be
singing a fun and funky MAD song
all about methods of transport, so
‘All Aboard!!!’ for some MAD antics!
Finally, our 2 to 4 years olds
will be creeping up and surprising Ralph
with a great counting game guaranteed to
make the children giggle as well as
improving their mathematical skills with our
fun game, ‘Count it, Throw it, 1,2,3’.
Don’t forget to book
up you place for your MAD Academy
spring term with your class leader right
away. Places are limited and going
fast!!!! To contact your nearest class

of their new baby syllabus! Those of
you who already enjoy our music and
movement classes for babies will soon
notice lots of exciting new additions
guaranteed to make your little ones
smile! We have new nursery rhymes and
songs specifically chosen for babies. The

senses. Finally, in each class there is
an opportunity for you and your baby

our specially written songs. To find out

A Message from your Area
Leader – Emma Lelliot
Ralph and I are really
looking forward to some fabulous classes
this term and we’ve already chosen
some excellent tracks to get everyone up
and moving. We’re particularly excited to
be returning to the warm Parish
Hall of the Sacred Heart, Walton Avenue,
in Henley, which will now be our
permanent home. The afternoon class at
the Magnet Leisure Centre is filling
fast so let me know asap if you
want to join this one. The Charvil
2-4 year olds class is now full
and I’m taking a list for those
who would be interested in a Friday
class at this venue in the afternoon
– call or e-mail to let me know.
All other classes as advertised. See you
all very soon!

Did You Know?
Clapping our hands to the
beat of a song seems such a simple
skill. But recent research suggests that
it is actually rather complex and can
have considerable influence over a child’s
development. The ability to identify the
pulse in a piece of music, and
keep time with it, has become known
as ‘beat competency’. It seems the
more proficient we become at clapping
along to a favourite tune, the more
both our physical and intellectual abilities
can improve and this is particularly
true for children! To read more, click

Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a
great Christmas and would like to take
this opportunity to wish you all a
very happy New Year!
