Day One of Term 3 we had the African Beat incursion in the gym. We learnt about traditional instruments of Ghana that are used to celebrate and bring joy to all.
The children loved dancing to the beats of the percussion instruments and had a good laugh when the teachers joined together to form a band. They loved keeping the beat on the small drums that they each had a the opportunity to play.
Since the performance, we have collected all of the percussion instruments around the school and the advertising group has been learning about rhythm and beat (ta and ti-ti) and creating rhythms together. They are applying this to create a jingle for their advertisement of the happy shop and the whole neighbourhood will be trying to match percussion rhythm to the blues song we wrote with Nicola last term called 'Happiness, It's what we need".
It was a great start to the term, thank you Luisa for organising it!
