WALT: Write a report on school events.
Today we had some talented African drummers come into New Brighton Catholic School. We were taught interesting new things. they started by showing a surprisingly LOUD song, including dancing, drumming and singing. They used Shekere, Djembe and Xylophones,
Then there were single drums in front of the stage, while people got turns. I was chosen! We started by doing hand/arm warm-ups to prevent soreness throughout our arms. Then he counted to 4 and we had to try go the fastest we could! Then we added some dancing with singing, the African drummers joined in too, creating blasting terrific music you can hear from about a mile away. Then we did this African song!
After that we learnt some basic dance moves, from another African drumming song! The dance moves gave most students a smile of joy on their faces. Then me and Kate got up and thanked them for their time and as well with extreme effort.
