We headed to the Village Club for a new musical experience this week.\u00a0 Joy Duncan is providing drumming sessions for the rest of the term.\u00a0 First, we learned that there were two rules in drumming class – only use palms on the drums and listen to Joy so you know when to start and stop drumming.\u00a0 The bairns were asked if they knew where these drum were from “Africa”.\u00a0 We learned the names of the drums too – djembe, tam tam, panlogo, boogaraboo and doon doons.\u00a0 We explored using different parts of our palms to make sounds on the drums.\u00a0 The bairns took turns to go freestyle on the drums too.<\/p>\n

Mrs Garrick joined us back at the school hall to continue our music session, where we moved our bodies to the changing beat, going fast or slow, with big steps or small.\u00a0 \u00a0We revisited Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes which might have been the fastest yet!\u00a0 Afterwards, we lay down, relaxing our bodies from our toes to our heads.<\/p>\n
