Monday - PSHE and Music

Instruments are an important part of musical culture all around the world! In African countries, shakers are often featured in songs.

Smaller than 600ml containers works best. 

• Empty bottle 
• Small plastic container with lid
• Small study cardboard box (like gift boxes)

2. Fill with

• Paper clips 
• Small pebbles
• Small twigs
• Cinnamon sticks
• Seed Pods

If you haven't watched the Kindness Assembly presented by the Duchess of Cambridge, have a watch now! 

Perhaps you can carry out some of these acts of kindness today and over the next week...
