Samba Time in Year 5&6!

On Wednesday 20th January Year 5/6 children really enjoyed a samba workshop!  They had opportunity to play some rhythm based games, and learnt how to perform a samba on a selection of Latin American instruments including ganzas, agogos, tambours and drums. It sounded great! It also tied in brilliantly with the work we have been doing in class, as we have been learning all about Bernstein’s ‘Mambo’ from ‘Symphonic Dances’ from ‘West Side Story.’ Amazing!
