MOVE-A-LONG WITH SING-A-LONG, GTG, SOUTH AFRICA, FEB 20, 2009

SING-A-LONG helps to make learning lively and encourages active participation by learners.

I enjoyed it a lot. I will definitely recommend it to be used in all schools.

A fun way to teach and learn the phonemes and to help learners to be comfortable with themselves.

An extremely wonderful, exciting and interesting way of helping the children to learn through music.

Absolute fun and I feel it would be extremely beneficial and successful in any school. What a great way to teach phonics.

This was stunning! And so much fun! I can’t wait to try this in the future in my classroom. This Sing-A-Long works so well with the theory side of THRASS. It makes it much more fun to learn and the kids will enjoy it with the moves and music.

Great course. Learnt a lot and would now be able to make my classes fun, friendly and educational.

A wonderful experience that was fun and interactive. The songs and book are brilliantly done and something we as teachers might enjoy as much if not more than the children!

It was rocking, enjoyable and educating!

It was a lot of fun. I learned a lot. I believe learning can take place when we are having fun. Every school in SA needs this because children just want to have fun. It is the best thing THRASS could have thought of!

The Sing-A-Long has really been enjoyable and is very valuable for future teaching. I find the songs a great way to teach young learners literacy. Fabulous presentation.

It was a fun experience. I’ll definitely use Sing-A-Long in my class one day. I think it is a great way for children to learn new words, their sounds and spelling.

A great course, because learners will be able to learn in a fun way. I really enjoyed it, so I know the learners will also enjoy it. This will also help leaners to think creatively and do their own moves.

The songs are really easy to use and do with children. The songs are catchy and immediately grab the child’s attention. The movements also keep the children involved, really excellent.

Really enjoyable. Very entertaining and informative. I learnt how to really apply the songs and make them both fun and educational. Can’t wait to start using the Sing-A-Long in my own classroom.

Fun,fun,fun. This is a must in schools. The songs get stuck in your head!

I thoroughly enjoyed the session. As a future music teacher I feel that I can really have so much fun with this Sing-A-Long in my classroom. I think these songs are amazing and can’t wait to incorporate them in my THRASS teaching one day.

I enjoyed it very much. It’s a whole new fun way to learn phonemes and spellings and I’m positive the learners will love the songs as much as we did.

Wonderful! It makes learning fun and easy. Learning should be fun and full of energy. Thank you for giving us this amazing opportunity.

Extremely good. I had a lot of fun while learning as well. I would definitely use this in my classroom.

Very enjoyable and informative. I can’t wait to sing these songs in my class one day! Looks like so much fun - even though I’m totally tone deaf and have two left feet!

Fun! I really enjoyed it a lot! We learnt a lot! I will use Sing-A-Long in my class one day!

I loved it! It can definitely work! Children will love it! As I did! Children have to learn through fun and this is fun! Love it.

Fantastic interactive workshop. Thoroughly enjoyed by myself with the other teachers and students. This is of great value to anyone who will be implementing THRASS.

I have never had this much fun whilst at school. The Sing-A-long is a great training experience. When being taught, children want something exciting and they don’t want to be bored. I think that this is a much needed tool in the classroom and it is worthwhile.

Really enjoyable, I think using songs and music will work particularly well with young children. It makes learning fun and interactive.

Energetic and exciting. We know that children enjoy dancing and singing more than sitting down all the time. I feel this Sing-A-Long will help learners memorise the phonemes in a fun way.

This was an absolutely amazing course! Enjoyed it a lot. Good performances and an amazing facilitator. With this intro I will definitely do THRASS in my class.

The Sing-A-Long was a lot of fun. I think it is going to be much easier to learn the learners THRASS. I think it is going to be very effective in the classroom. The learners can learn in a fun way!

Lots of fun and enjoyable. Recommended. Learned a lot.

Great fun! Children will love it! Excellent!

So entertaining and showed me that in order for children to understand music and movement is so important! Learnt to not be embarrassed with the learners and to enjoy the lessons. Using the THRASS Media is wonderful and very useful. Enjoyed every moment. Lots of fun.

Fun,fun,fun. I love music and I think it is brilliant to have a system where learners can learn words and spelling through music. I am definitely using the THRASS Sing-A-Long in my classroom one day. The best part is that it opens many doors for integration.

Great. It is a nice method for teaching children. The presenter does her bit very well, she is optimistic. I will enjoy using this in my classroom.

It was nice to hear all of the different styles of music that are used. The movements are a lot of fun. The speaker was also very enthusiastic about her presentation and this influenced us all.

A great course. The presenter did it so well that we all wanted to dance along with her. The Sing-A-Long is a good and nice way to learn. I wish they had a programme like this for maths!

Janine was a very good presenter. Friendly, fun, lots of energy. Perfect. Wish we could have another Sing-A-Long for the PGCE students who could not be here!

Very exciting. Easy way to teach children sounds, spelling and writing. Very enjoyable.

I enjoyed it a lot. It was fun seeing my friends dancing and knowing it is fun doing THRASS!

I really enjoyed this as I was able to make more connection to what I leant the previous week in the two-day THRASS course. I learnt how to make learning THRASS fun and how learners will learn without even realising it.

Brilliant. We all had a great time. Loved the music and dancing. A must for all teachers of THRASS.

Very well done composition of music! I enjoyed the Sing-A-Long and have learnt to enjoy music and dancing with the children. I cannot wait to do it with my own class one day!
