Music 2024-2025
Years 5 and 6 have explored African drumming styles.
They composed simple rhythmic patterns which they performed on djembe drums.
Both classes used call and response in their compositions,
and Year 6 included polyrhythms.
Their performance in front of an audience included
Kye Kye Kule, a call and response song, and Senwa Dedende, performed as a round.
Both songs are thought to originate from Ghana.
Year 1 have composed their own No Place Like,
inspired by No Place Like composed by Dr Kerry Andrew.
They listened to sounds around their school
and recreated them using vocal and body percussion.
