🎶 Year 5 Samba Workshop 🥁
Yesterday, our Year 5 pupils enjoyed a fantastic samba music workshop with Mrs Glanville as part of our celebrations for International Music Day.
Working together on the school field, the children explored the vibrant sounds and rhythms of a variety of different drums, discovering how music can bring people together through creativity, listening and teamwork. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm grow as the field came alive with energy and rhythm!
If you’d like to hear some of the amazing music they created, you can listen to the recordings on our SoundCloud page.
