Kakatsisi Drummers

On Wednesday we were very lucky to have a visit from the fantastic Kakatsitsi Drummers all the way from Ghana.  They performed for the whole school first and we got to hear some great rhythms and heard about the different types of drums they play and about how they work together in the group.  Then P5 and P6 were very lucky to have a workshop with them for the rest of the afternoon.  We all got the opportunity to play a drum and learned different drumming patterns.  It was an excellent opportunity and great fun too.  Then we had a dance lesson from Cynthia who taught us some excellent moves.  It was very energetic and we were rather hot and sweaty by the time we finished but we thoroughly enjoyed it.  We hope they come back to visit us again.  Miss Shearer didn’t manage to take many photos as she was busy joining in, as did Miss Kelday, Mrs Bevan and Mr McIntosh  There are a few photographs and Miss Kelday managed to take a video which we will link to this blog soon!
