Class 7 enjoyed their first drumming lesson of the year today with Mr Bird.

They found out that samba drumming originated in Brazil. They then learned names of all the Samba drums and percussion instruments (from left to right) agogo bells, tamborims, surdos, the repinique and the caixa.

Finally, Mr Bird split the class into two groups and the children had a go at repeating a rhythm altogether as a band on the samba drums.
