The sessions were attended by the heads of year seven and heads of music from various year six pupil Liv said: "It was absolutely incredible, I think I'm going to buy a drum now."Another year six pupil Travis said he was excited about the new things he will learn in secondary school. He said: "Like rock climbing, the amount of music and just English and Maths in general. Mr Wright said the djembe drums are already used by children in primary school as part of their music curriculum entitlement through the music service. "It's been a great opportunity for them to realize that music is a social thing," he said."I can think of no better way of bringing people together to make friends ahead of making the transition up to high school.
