Year 1 have been doing lots of creative activities this week linked to Brazil and carnivals.

We made masks for the carnival by sticking feathers, gems and glitter on to our masks. We tried to make the symmetrical.

We made shakers so we could make lots of noise in the carnival. We had to carefully cover our bottle in glue then stick on the colours of the Brazilian flag on to it.

We went outside and created big pieces of art work in the playground by splatting paint onto big sheets of paper. Come and see them in the Year 1 classroom if you get a chance.

We also created some poems. We thought about what we could see, hear and smell at a carnival. We worked really hard to think of good vocabulary to use in our poems.
