African Drumming Lesson

On October 30th, P6 had the rare chance to learn some African drumming skills. Everyone, including the adults, were given a drum. Gradually the patterns of drum rhythm grew more complicated but we all focused well and it sounded together. Ross Sinclair and Kasey Garriock were selected to provide a background beat and they performed very well. Towards the end of the lesson, some of us were give the chance to do African dancing whilst the rest of the class played the drums.

Ramadan

Class 6 has been studying the Muslim festival of Ramadan. During this month many Muslims fast during daylight hours. At the end of Ramadan is the festival called Id-ul-Fitr when the people have a great feast, give presents and send cards. The patterns we coloured are like the ones used on their greetings cards. Here they are in our display in class.

Hockey Festival

On Friday 28th September, 11 pupils from our class and 3 from P7/6 went to Picky to take part in the Hockey Festival. There were schools from all over the Mainland and, after some training, we divided into teams for hockey games. The teams were formed by mixing members of all the schools. There was a good sporting atmosphere and we shook hands with our opponents after all our games. Here we are in the playground.
