Year 6 - Drumming

17 October 2025 (by Cheryl Wallace (Cheryl Wallace))

Today the whole school have received a drumming lesson as part of our Black History month learning.

Year 6 have been learning to play the Djembe drum.  They all enjoyed it and we had some wonderful music and rhythm going on. 

A djembe is a rope-tuned, skin-covered goblet drum played with bare hands, originally from West Africa.  Djembe means everyone gathers together in peace.
