Thursday 12 October – exploring Brazil, Africa and Thailand
As part of our Big Topic on Explorers Y5 and Y6 will enjoy a morning of exploration, travelling around the world to experience music and physical activities from Brazil, Africa and Thailand.
The classes will rotate around three activities:
- Capoeira is an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance, acrobatics and music. It was developed in Brazil mainly by Angolans
- International African drumming
- International Thai boxing
Please arrive in your PE kit on Thursday 12 October. Wear trainers, jogging bottoms and a long sleeve sweater as some of the activities may be outside. You’ll stay in your kit all day.
Year 5/6 are going to have an exciting and challenging morning!
