African Drumming

Today we had two African visitors from Team Beat come to play the drums for us. They were from Ghanya which is in west Africa. We found out that they play the drums to keep them fit, to send messages, to talk to each other and to entertain themselves.

We joined in and played the drums too. When we played the drums they were really loud and we had to hit the drums with our hands. We had to copy the people and do the same rhythm. We also had to do some African dancing too. To do African dancing, we had to shake our whole bodies from to side, we had to wobble and bend our knees and roll our hands underneath our legs.

When we get home we are going to show our families how to do African dancing too! Check out the video to see some of the action from today!
