Check out the photos from today's Jam Bus session. Jam Bus is a mobile recording studio and was an awesome opportunity for us to experience how a recording studio works.

We all had a drumtastic time at the Rhythm Interactive Show. Check out some of the photos. At lunch time a group came in and practised some of the ideas from the show.

Dance Group

The Dance Group are almost at the end of learning their third choreography for the year. This dance has not been choreographed by Mrs Eeles so that has been a whole new experience. The dance is "I'd rather be happy". The dance group hope to learn the last part of the choreography this week and will perform at assembly early in term three.

Juniors

Rooms 1,2,3, & 4 have been learning an Australian Aboriginal lullaby called "Mumma Warruno". They have explored different ostinato using body percussion, boomwhackers and drums. They have moved creatively around the room with scarves and learnt to play the harmony on the boomwhackers and xylophones. Have a look at rooms 3 and 4 and see how they have become familiar with another language.

Rooms 6 & 9 have been learning an echo song called "Narrabundah". All the words in the song are places in Australia and of Aboriginal origin. The aim has been to introduce instrumental accompaniment, improvisation and to learn another language. There has been a focus on drum rhythms. Have a look at their drumming and dance improvisations.

In keeping with our term celebrating homemade instruments and rhythm Mr Johnston made us a new set of stomping tubes and two cajons. Thanks Mr Johnston for your efforts. The keen musicians of PBS love playing the instruments you have made.
