| This Aiken Drum has: noodle hair, apple eyes, a carrot nose, a banana mouth, pear ears, a sea weed moustache and a cotton candy beard! |
What a busy first week of school! It has been a time for building relationships with new classmates, settling into a new classroom, and of course visiting the Music Room for the first time this year. We had to spend some time talking about routines and safety information, but we had a bit of time left over to make some music together!
Grade One students enjoyed moving to the familiar song, "Happy" by Pherrell Williams. When the music paused, we found different ways to freeze our body: high and low, big and small, even making our own unique super hero pose. Then we settled into the circle to build "Aiken Drum", a mysterious creature whose face is made of food! Click HERE to sing along to the song and create your own Aiken Drum!
Grade Two and Three students spent some time exploring some of our more unusual percussion instruments. Some sounds were beautiful, some were surprising, and some were downright unpleasant! After listening to each, we started to make some connections between these musical instruments and the world around us.
