Owls Class Festival Of Culture Week

As we are part of the Aspire Trust throughout this week we have been celebrating 'The Festival of Culture'. In Year 2 we have learnt all about Brazil. 

This is a message that Owl class typed together to sum up our week:

During Festival of Culture week, we have learnt lots of facts and information about Brazil. We have made banners, that say BRAZIL on them. We decorated the letters with gold, silver and red glitter. We did this because the costumes during Carnival are very sparkly and glittery too. The banners also have a drawing of the Amazon River, Amazon Rainforest and lots of the different animals that are found there. We cooked Brigadeiro, which is a sweet Brazilian chocolate treat. Also we learnt the traditional story called Where the night came from. We also made masks for carnival. 

Some of the facts that we learnt this week about Brazil were:

• The Brazilian Amazon Rainforest gives everyone in the world the oxygen that they need to breath.
• Brazil is in South America.
• The Amazon river runs through Brazil and it is the longest river in the world.
• Brazilians speak Portuguese.
