Song Bong

A group with a funny name - Song Bong - visited our school last week.


There were four people in the group, a Dad and his wife and their two sons, Jonas who is 15, and 10 year old Lui.  

Once we were all seated in the hall, we noticed there was a big cardboard wall set up.  From out behind that came David, who is the dad, with a puppet called Bargu.  Then Kate (mum) and Jonas came out with raku sticks and tapped them together.  

Lui came out 

with his raku sticks and they all tapped them together while David used the puppet to tell a story.

The next thing we saw was a big hairy volcano.  David, Kate and Jonas danced around the volcano.

They set up some drums and they played them - it was really loud.  Some teachers came up and played the drums while the school sang a song.  It went like this:

     I go to school

     I go to school

     I go to school

     And my teacher is cool!

Lui walked out with a big shell and he blew it.

At the end of the show all the children were allowed to come up and have a little play on each drum.

It was really cool.
