Mardi Gras

Last week Elaine Geddes, music teacher, came into our class to talk about her Carnival experience in Rio de Jeneiro. She took part in the procession with a Samba School and wore a very elaborate and colourful costume. Here you can see it being modelled!

She also brought along samba drums so that we could have a go at learning the rhythms of samba music.

We made carnival masks in art using a variety of materials and colours. You can see them in the slideshow below. There will be a prize for the wackiest and the most beautiful one as judged by Ms Dennison.
