Capoeira!

Today Year 5 studied about the most famous Brazilian martial arts. They sang, danced and learned how to "fight and dance" it. They also  made a comparision between the capoeira movements with Geometry. It was just fantastic! Our big thank you to Ms. Tatiana Sarmento, who invited the capoeira group.
