Year 9 students participated in an exciting Samba workshop day which forms part of their Key Stage 3 Baccalaureate programme.

On Tuesday 16th November 2010, Year 9 students started their Samba day with a warm up session led by the internationally renowned percussion quartet BackBeat. They then participated in a carousel of activities which consisted of; a Samba workshop with BackBeat, learning to speak some Portuguese in MFL and designing a mural of Brazilian Graffiti in Art.

Students worked with enthusiasm throughout the day and some students even performed in a concert with BackBeatin the final session. Students will now embark ona tutor group challenge which is to create a product to demonstrate their learning of the three activities from the day.
