Year 6 had loads of fun enyoying Mr Knapper's Mexican dancing! We all joined in! Then, the children followed instructions and measured ingredients to make Latin limeade and Sangrita. Everyone loved the quesadillas. Some children made more at home!

The children listened to different songs and created an image of how the song made them feel and what it helped them to imagine. They did this using charcoal, pastel crayons and water colour paint. The results were fantastic - what a creative bunch! 

Year 3 Djembe Drummers in action! Year 3 showcased their drumming to the whole school. They were excellent.
