On Tuesday, Year 5 and 6 learnt about Samba music with Mrs Hallas, a style of music from South American strongly associated with the Carnival. We played some beat and rhythm games before becoming associated with the instruments. We then took our performance on a sell-out tour to the Year 3s and 4s!
In the afternoon we joined the other children to play some games and paint rainbows in the playground! The childen all really enjoyed themselves, some of the, covering themselves in paint more than the floor!
Would you like to be in a Samba band? Just find some percussion instruments – these can be anything you can hit, shake or scrape. Don’t forget to ask your grown up before you go raiding the kitchen cupboards for pots and pans!
Then make up some rhythms to play to each other. If there is more than one of you, you can each play a different rhythm. Try rhythms such as “We are Kexborough Primary School” and “I love sausage rolls.”
