Team AC have been working so hard in lots of lessons to combine all their efforts and have a Carnival. Our fabulous children have worked hard in Geography learning all about South America and brazil and the differences between our country and theirs, we have looked into lots of things but the Rio Carnival was something that was very different to things that we do in the UK. We had a look at the differences between what we eat and what they eat, so we wanted to bring a bit of that into our carnival too.
In Design and technology we have researched, designed and then made rain sticks which is something that is made in South America usually out of cactus plants. We found it so interesting how they pull out the spikes and then turn them inwards to help make the beautiful sound, we re-created this by using some coiled foil inside our rain sticks. A lot of time and effort went into making them. In art team AC spent time with Lilian and designed and made their own tie dye T-shirts that look spectacular and really brightened up our carnival. They also designed and made their own masks. In Music and P.E we learnt some of the instruments and music that they dance to in Brazil and we learnt moves to a samba dance. Put that all together and we had an amazing carnival yesterday afternoon, we tried Brazilian chocolate truffles and cheesy bread, they went down a treat!! We sang and danced played instruments and played the rain sticks that we made. We wore t-shirts and masks and did a parade around the playground and school to show everyone at Park Street all of our hard work. The children all had huge smiles and had the best afternoon.
