African Drumming

Every Monday over the next 6 weeks each class will engage in African Drumming workshops.

They will be introduced to basic rhythmic concepts of West African and world percussion through drumming, chanting, body percussion, call and response and storytelling.

Using the West African Djembe (pronounced djem – bay) students assemble in the drum circle.

Children will connect to rhythm and sound using a variety of percussion instruments, bells and shakers. 

The first workshop was enjoyed by all children and we are really looking forward to the next few weeks.

Art Exhibition

Our Art Exhibition includes beautiful artwork from each class and the shapes, lines, colours, creativity, and imagination on display are truly amazing.

The video gives a walk-through of our art exhibit and gives a taste of the artwork that has taken place during the months of September and October in each class.

The Dot – Make your mark and see where it takes you

Over our art exhibition area, you will notice an array of colourfully designed dots.  Recently each pupil of our school decorated a dot any way they wished.

All these colourful dots were collected and put on display by Ms. O’Regan to form part of a whole school art piece called “The Dot – Make your make and see where it takes you”.

Well done to all on your amazing creations.
