1/2 African Drumming Incursion
Yesterday all the Grade 1/2’s had a special incursion for our Inquiry unit, ‘Diversity’ in the MPR.
We learnt about the different types of drums and instruments used in Africa. Each student got to play a ‘Djembe’ drum, and show off their dancing skills in small groups. We all had a wonderful time learning about Africa, its music and dancing.
Nick – “It was very interesting because I’ve never really seen a drum like that before.”
Flynn – “It was good and funny. I liked it.”
Chloe – “It was fun and I liked how the drum they played, was used to communicate.”
Marlee – “I liked that we got to dance and that we got to do a beat with the drums.”
