Drumming and Sewing

Wow! Another short but incredibly busy week in Firefly class. The children have had the most wonderful time. It started off well with a wonderful drumming workshop to round off our topic on Kenya. The children each had a drum to experience what it was like. Where they hit the drum made a different sound, the inside was the base and the outside was called the slap. We then had to learn a rhythm and keep in time with Oumar, Mrs Russam was his apprentice! (She still has a lot to learn!) Then we finished off with a good old dance to Waka Waka which got everyone enjoying themselves.

We then moved on to our new DT topic and will be making puppets. First, the children had to practise different joining techniques and work out which one they would use to help make their puppet, then we moved onto practising our running stitch. We used binca and needles to go in and out, but never around! There was a lot of concentrating!

Next week we are back to normal! Mrs Russam will be in all day Monday – Wednesday and Thursday afternoon, Mrs Watts will be Thursday morning and all-day Friday.

Have a great weekend.
