What an incredible adventure 1st Class have been on over the past few weeks! Our classroom was transformed into a vibrant hub of colour, culture and curiosity as the children dived deep into learning all about Brazil.
The children journeyed (virtually!) to the magnificent Amazon Rainforest — the largest tropical rainforest in the world. They were fascinated to discover the layers of the rainforest and the incredible animals that call it home.
From colourful toucans and sleepy sloths to playful monkeys and powerful jaguars, 1st Class explored how these amazing creatures survive in their habitats. The children created beautiful artwork and fact files, showing just how much they learned about rainforest life.
Our learning didn’t stop at the rainforest! The children also explored Brazil’s rich and vibrant culture — from music and dance to food and traditions.
We were especially lucky to welcome Liliana, a Brazilian native, into our classroom. She shared her personal experiences of growing up in Brazil and taught us about family life, celebrations, and what makes her home country so special. The children asked fantastic questions and listened so carefully.
The highlight? Liliana helped the class make traditional Brazilian treats called Brigadeiros — a delicious chocolate sweet that everyone thoroughly enjoyed! The classroom was filled with smiles (and chocolatey fingers!).
Inspired by the world-famous Rio Carnival, 1st Class worked incredibly hard to create their very own carnival celebration.
The creativity on display was simply amazing! The children designed and built colourful floats, crafted vibrant costumes, and learned lively carnival music. Their teamwork, imagination and effort truly shone through.
When carnival day arrived, the whole school gathered to enjoy the parade. There was music, dancing, colour and excitement everywhere — and 1st Class performed with such confidence and joy. It was a celebration to remember!
🌟 We Are So Proud!
1st Class have shown fantastic enthusiasm, creativity and curiosity throughout this topic. They embraced every aspect of their learning — from geography and science to art, music and cooking — and should be incredibly proud of all they achieved.
What a wonderful way to explore the world from our classroom!
Well done, 1st Class — Brazil will never forget you… and we certainly won’t forget your amazing carnival! 🇧🇷✨
