This week, we have started learning to play African drums. We learnt to play different rhythms on the djembe, djun-djun and conga drums. We worked on our drumming techniques to use the correct part of our hand and hit the drum to play bass and tone sounds. Our music teacher was very impressed, he taught us some call and response patterns too. We had lots of fun!

Happy New Year!!

We have continued to create Stone Age art.

We used natural colours to decorate our cave wall.

We also worked as a class to create a cave wall featuring our handprints.

We have had some very special visitors in our class this week!

Welcome back to our blog.

This week we have been exploring cave paintings as part of our Stone Age topic. We collected materials from nature to make paint to create stone age art.

Then we used the natural materials to make marks, just like prehistoric artists would have done.

After that, we use spices (turmeric, cinnamon and paprika) to make our own paint. We added this to our Stone Age colour palette.

Finally, we used couscous and PVA glue to add texture to some card- so that it was more like a cave wall. Next week we will add some images using charcoal.

Welcome back to our blog.

Over the past 2 weeks we have been exploring column addition and subtraction using dienes to help us when we need to exchange.
