Dancing to the beat of the drum!

 As part of our Languages Week, everyone in school was treated to an African Drumming masterclass! Mr. Monroe from Junior Jam worked with us all to help perfect our rhythm and timing.

 He brought with him a collection of traditional African drums called Jimbay. Mr. Monroe showed us how we could get different tones from the drum by playing on different parts of the skin.

 Our visitor was very impressed with our rhythm and control, which is no doubt a result of all Mrs.Southby's hard work in our music lessons.

 We played a call and response game; different children had the chance to be the leader and the rest of the class had to follow them!

 Everyone agreed it was a fantastic session in what has been a very busy and exciting week! Look out for more posts on our other workshops ...
