Today, Y3 and 4’s current topic about ‘Carnival’ and its links to the West Indies came to life in the form of steel drums!
We have been learning all about the West Indies and the countries (lots of islands) that make it up. One of those countries, Trinidad & Tobago, is where the steel drum originates.
Y3 and 4 were lucky enough to have a go themselves at playing the steel drum!
Further your child’s learning by seeing if they can remember where the steel drum comes from and as an extra challenge, if they can remember the three parts of a steel drum! They are: the notes, the skirt and the belly!
