African Drumming Incursion

On Thursday the 5th of September we had an African Drumming Incursion. Almost all of our class went, along with all the Junior Primary classes. It was in the Undercover Area.

First the three men from Ghana, in West Africa, showed us some songs on their big drums. They also sung and danced to the music. This is what people in Africa do instead of playing PlayStation.

Next all the teachers had to go up and join in the dancing. They looked funny! They also got some people from the crowd to play the drums. Boston was chosen and got to play on the big drums.

After this every single person got a chance to play on the little drums. It was hard to stay in time and we made a very loud noise! After drumming for a while our fingers went red.

We had lots of fun on the drums and we wish that we didn’t have to stop. We thought it was an amazing day.
