During Week 7 of the term, Room 3 were given the opportunity to watch the Symphony Orchestra perform at St. Margret's College.
We were amazed at the many different instruments that were there, how they were played and the different sounds that they made.
Back at school, we drew and wrote about our favourite instruments and some of us even began collecting data about which were the most popular.
It was a fantastic introduction to instruments for us, and we were very excited when Mrs Head's husband (Murray) offered to come into school last week and share his expertise.
Murray captivated us with his knowledge of different percussion instruments, how they could be played and where they might have originated from. He brought in 2 drum kits and a Congo drum, (which he was very skilled in playing), and even showed us how to make different sounds just using a bucket!
We got to try our hands at playing all of the instruments on offer, dancing and moving around to the music that others were making.
A big Thank You to Murray for taking the time to come and share his passion with us...we loved it!
