July 09: Year 3 and 4 Drumming and Brass Assembly
Throughout the year, Years 3 and 4 have been learning how to play the African Drums with Mr Prophet. They have been learning different rhythms and how to play these rhythms against each other. In assemblies over the past week, each class has performed a fabulous composition that they have composed as a class. The rhythms that they played were really complicated and there were at least 3 or four different rhythms being played. Well done Years 3 and 4! Take a look and have a listen.
