Today LS2 went to participate with the drumming that happened today. We had John come to our school and teach us some skills. He wanted to let us know that together we can make a change. We needed to listen to follow the correct beat or rhythm. He told us "If you can say it you can drum it " .We were using African drums called Djembe. Since our juniors were new to this type of activity we got to pair up with some of the students from room 1 and 4. My partner was Vaingalo and together we worked out the beat to each song. The first song was called I like drumming. Me and Vaingalo enjoyed the quick pats we needed to do on the drums. We first practiced each part of the song using our hands to learn the beat and then we started to use the drums. Did you know that Djembe in African means “ brings joy ”. A big thank to John for coming and giving us an opportunity to experience drumming and for also donating 7 drums to our school.
