Monday 25th November - Africa Experience

We had a very exciting day learning how to play the African Djembe drums. We mastered some very complicated rhythms and played together in a fantastically dynamic ensemble. After break Wren class continued their East African adventure with some traditional dancing, a brilliant and energetic start to a wet November week.

After lunch all of Key Stage 2 gathered in the hall to listen to some Anansi folktales, we even joined in to help the trickster weave his magic! We would like to thank Anna from Arican Experiences for providing us with a very informative and enjoyable day.
