Aboriginal Drumming, Singing and Dancing

Today we had another wonderful presentation from one of our district's Aboriginal cultural workers.  Ms. Merrier spent the afternoon with all of the Grade Four students at our school.  First, she talked a bit about her Aboriginal heritage, and the protocol (rules) about Aboriginal drumming, singing and dancing.  She also spoke about how the drums and rattles are made.  Next, it was time to give it a try!  Students got opportunities to drum, use rattles, sing and dance.  It was a lot of fun, and the students did a wonderful job.  Check out the video below to see them in action.
