Team Dolphins participated in the Sports Festival at Bulwell Academy.
Today we held our Brazilian carnival to kick-start our topic. We dressed up in our bright coloured t-shirts and wore our sparkly headdresses. We listened to carnival music and watched a clip of a Brazilian carnival. We also learnt some Samba steps and moved in time to the music. We made our own short movie clip using the green screen - check out the videos below!

Today we brought in our favourite toys and discussed what they were made from and how they work. We found that most of them had plastic somewhere. Some had fluffy material and a lot of them had electrical parts to make them move, talk or light up.
It's smiley Friday!

Our topic this half term is ‘How Have Our Toys Changed?’
