Statement of Inquiry
Unequal access to resources leads to creative adaptations. |
The Middle Years teachers have identified a need for more musical instruments at the Deutsche Schule Kobe/ European School Kobe. Specifically, the teachers have been looking for Japanese Taiko to use in Physical Education and Music lessons.
The Middle Years students have taken on the challenge of designing and building percussion instruments for the whole school to use. In January, we will be constructing prototypes researched and chosen by the students, then moving on to a larger construction project. |
