African Drumming Workshop

King Marong from Gambia came to visit us on Tuesday and teach us some African drumming, chants and dances. He plays the djembe drum and brought 50 more drums for us to have a go on.

The video isn't uploading...I'll try and add it later :-)

Our weaving

In maths last week we learned about patterns in weaving - and we learned to weave a mat and a kete. Here are some of our creative weavers showing off their work...

This week we are looking at patterns in Maori kowhaiwhai - here's a website with some examples to check out at home (scroll down a bit).

This movie shows some excerpts from our practices for an assembly item for 'Paint it All Black Day' at Freeville School.
We decided to show our support for the All Blacks by being:
- All Black supporters
- All Blacks doing the haka
- All Black cheerleaders
- All Blacks playing rugby

Glen and Jack (LT4) filmed us and made this movie for us.
