Welcome to our blog!

Komodo Dragon Base pulled South Africa out of our World Cup draw - which means we have taken on South Africa as our learning journey this half term.

Not only will we be focusing on the World cup and tracking South Africa's progress, but we will also be learning through International Arts week, Nelson Mandela and why people in different countries were and are treated differently.

Keep you eyes peeled on our blog as lots of exciting things will be happening!

National Anthem Verse Making

In International Arts Week we were composing a new verse of the South African National Anthem as you've probably guessed, it is our country.

We first kept listening to the National anthem to get the beat, tune and the syllables of each line which was 9 syllables in all of the first three lines and the last line was 14 syllables.

Once we had done that we had to come up with the lyrics- that was quite difficult! After that it got even more difficult when we had to compose the music for it by listening to the National anthem and copying the tune. A good thing was that the 1st and 3rd line was exactly the same. (Phew that makes it bit easier). Some of them are still not complete including mine but there getting there and the finished ones sound really good.
