Does anyone have any cylinder containers that we can use to make tomtoms with balloons??

Year 3

Don't forget your recorders on Friday. I am looking forward to hearing the melodious sounds of 24 recorders playing together! I also have some special music for you to paste into your music books so that you can take them home to play for your families!

Don't forget to bring in your recycled instruments on Friday so that you can start creating music with the Recycled Instrument Orchestra. I will also have the flip camera to capture you on film for your mums and dads to see!
