African Music

Today, we explored African music and talked about how drums could make lots of different sounds.

How many different sounds can you hear?

We practiced keeping a rhythm using African drums, tambourines and maracas.

 

 

 

Next, we used microphones to record our fantastic performance of 'Jambo Bwana', a famous Kenyan song.

Mrs McDonald and I are looking forward to going back to school and starting our new topic Africa!

We can't wait to hear what you all know about Africa already!  

Can you find Africa on the world map?

Do you know what type of animals live in Africa? Do you know any different languages that they speak in Africa?
