Geraldine’s School of Drama have announced a new pre-school course.
GSD’s Geraldine Kieran said demand had led to the idea.
“Following a very successful term in the Holy Family Crèche; I decided that starting in earnest a course designed for pre-school children or young children who have just started primary school is ideal,” she said.
This course focuses on fun drama activities to help develop imagination, social skills and self-confidence. Through stories and short rhymes very young children will develop clear speech and improve their communication skills. Starting drama at an early age broadens children’s imagination, stimulates their senses and helps improve or correct speech issues early on. The course focuses on all of these areas but the key focus is fun and the development of positive social skills.
The course is ideal for children who are in pre-school or just starting school as an after school or weekend activity. The class itself will run for 45 minutes.
Geraldine said: “This is an ideal amount of time for this age group to be engaged and involved. Over the term GSD will introduce set themes which will encourage learning and positive social interaction. Drama Bunnies is ideal for children who are shy, struggling with social skills or require a broader area to expand their imagination and creativity.”
The course will run for six weeks starting this month. In order to provide quality places are limited. Check out GSD’s website www.eloquence.ie for further information.
