Jungle Drums

Yesterday on Thursday after lunch Mrs Wareham said to pack up. I thought we were going to get told off from Miss Hansell the principal. We lined up and started walking down to the hall. I heard a drumming noise. I knew we weren’t going to get a telling off. When we all got in there were heaps of African drums and we saw three people on the stage. Their names were Lucy, Chewie and Johnny. It was fun because we could drum and not write stories. We all had to do the animal dance, so did the teachers. At the end we stopped drumming and Johnny said a long time ago in Africa they used the drums for telephones and I thought it was cool.

Jungle Beats

On Thursday after lunch Mrs Wareham said to us to clean up the class as Miss Hansell wanted us to go to the hall. She said we were in trouble because we were running down the stairs. When we got to the hall we heard some noise. Then when we got in the hall there where people drumming and the people that were on the stage there called Rhythm Interactive. Their names were Johnny, Lucy and Chewy. Johnny was funny he was doing jungle dances and he was sweating so was Chewy. Johnny was getting cheeky to Chewy and Johnny said to us did Chewy get cheeky and we shouted “NO”. Johnny was leading the group and showing us some drum beats. I felt amazed because I liked the way that we were all able to join in.

Yesterday after lunch room 5,6,7 and 8 had to line up outside to go to the hall. I thought that we were getting into trouble for pushing down the stairs.

When we were outside by the hall, we were all hearing banging sounds. Everyone was trying to think what that noise was in the hall. When room7 were standing at the door, I was so surprised what I saw. There was a row of drums. I sat at the front where Miss Sharma was sitting. All of us had to sit in rows and sit in front of a drum. We were drumming and I was happy. It was fun.

There were three people on the stage in front of us. Their names were Johnny, Lucy and Chewie. I thought that Johnny couldn’t talk, but he was just using actions. We all had to look and listen. It was getting noisy, but everyone was smiling even me. Johnny put us in groups and he still did not talk. In our groups we did different rhythms. Johnny, Lucy and Chewie were good at playing the drums.

Finally it was home time. Johnny told us that actions talk louder than words. And he told us what the drums a made out off. He also said that the drums were the first type of cell phone. They used them to tell the other people that enemies were coming. Then we went to our classroom and got our bag and went home.
