Arts Week - Barbados Day

Date: 7th Jun 2018 @ 10:38pm

Our theme was Barbados.  We carried out activities to find out about this Commonwealth Country.

We used the iPads to research; the flag, size of the country, population, capital city, animals that could be found there as well as other interesting facts.

We found out about the important festival known as he 'Crop Over', which celebrates the end of the sugar cane harvest.  At the end of this they have a huge carnival style parade. We made bright and colourful masks like they might wear.

We also looked at the work of another artist who creates scenes of the colourful beach side huts. 

The children really focused and concentrated, some of the designs were very detailed. 

We finished off the day learning a dance from Barbados.  It was fantastic, Mrs Catterall joined in and had a great time.
