INSPIRATION AFRICA!
Project 4
Rectory Paddock Special School
STORY-TELLING/DRAMA/MUSIC
Pupils, staff and team returned to the hall for some story-telling, singing and drumming with Sola. They warmed up with some melodic work around names. "Imagine that you're on a slide. Now we go from the top, right to the bottom, so we say - L E E".
The school had many percussive instruments and these were shared around the pupils and staff. First of all they talked about the masks that they had seen at the Horniman Museum and then they enacted a story about a drummer which incorporated a song that is used in Nigeria to help children go to sleep.
Half way through this session partner pupils from Kemnal Technology College arrived in the hall to join the story and dancing. The two schools have a history of working together (and with Inspiration Africa!) and were all pleased to meet up again.
