Dia de Portugal

Last Friday, as part of our Modern Foreign Language policy we held our second annual cultural day at Christ Church.  The children came in dressed in red, green and yellow and took part in a wide range of activities throughout the day, covering pretty much every subject in the curriculum between them.

We started with a traditional continental breakfast which went down well.  We learned some basic Portuguese words and took part in many fun activities including:

Building our own Vasco de Gama bridge out of newspaper which had to hold 1kg in weight.

Learning about the age of exploration.

Finding out about a child's life in Portugal.

Art inspired by a Portuguese impressionist artist.

Listening to Portuguese music and stories.

Creating a Portuguese flag - drawing and using ICT.

Researching about Portugal.

Finding out where Portugal is in the world.

Making our own Portuguese cake - well done Hargreaves class.

Learning to be great footballers like Ronaldo!

Everyone had a very enjoyable day.  Here is the evidence.
