Year 6 African Drumming Workshop, by Miss M Jones
Date: 18th Oct 2021 @ 11:31am
Year six had the absolute pleasure of attending a special drumming workshop on Monday! We learned about lots of different percussion instruments and their West African heritage. Then, we had a go at some call and response drumming: our leader shouted, "I like chips for tea!" and we had to shout back, "He likes chips for tea!" all whilst drumming to each word! After a few practice rounds of responding to different calls, we then performed in classes to the rest of Year 6 what we had learned. What a fantastic experience!
