Music - Reggae

Recently in our music lessons in 3V, we have been learning all about reggae, focusing in particular on the song 'Three Little Birds' by Bob Marley and the Wailers, which was first released in 1977 on the album 'Exodus.'

This famous song was familiar to most of the children in the class, who really enjoyed the cheerful rhythm in the song, and finding different ways to follow the pulse of the music.  

"It's a happy song" declared one of the children.  Others agreed that they liked the 'positive' and 'reassuring' message in the lyrics, while others felt it reminded them of summer.  Not many children were familiar with the reggae genre, so we found out where this style of music originated, and a little bit about Bob Marley himself.

We had a first practice at performing the song all together - some of the lines are quite tricky to time correctly, but hopefully we will be able to perfect our performance in the coming weeks!
