Music lesson

You could have heard a pin drop at the Day Care Centre as the youngest children were listening to their regular morning story. Sitting in a small group on the floor they were engrossed in what they were being told. But as one teacher came to the end of the story another opened the music box, and the peace and quiet were over.
Plastic oil barrels became drums, tambourines were shaken and the ‘pong-pengs' were twisted so much that half of them came apart, broken in pieces.
For what seemed like hours, but was in fact only a few minutes, the children danced around to their own music until the dining room door opened for snack time. Then when each child had a handful of biscuits silence returned.
