Today was such an eventful day for our whole school - especially the grade 4's and 5's! Milton Randall, a percussionist, came and did a Afro-Brazilian Drum Experience! Our class spent some time with him throughout the entire day, practicing a series of drums, chants and dances. He was quite the character and taught the students how to "talk" with the drums! They had a fantastic time learning and then, at the end of the day, they got to present their skills to the entire school!

And here's a YouTube video of another school taking part in the performance! This video will show essentially what we all got to do today!

Keep your eyes posted on the McMillan televisions and the year-end slideshow for some pictures! Mr. Bird was snapping them all day!
Have a great weekend!
