Chile Week

Hispanic Week - This week, we have taken part in our school Hispanic week. We have been learning all about Chile. We have enjoyed tasting traditional food, having a go at flamenco dancing (with fans we made ourselves) and completed artwork to look like the street art commonly found in Santiago. We have had a lot of fun!

We learned some flamenco dance moves and made our own fans to move with the music

My arrangement of Malagueña on my signature Flamenco guitar, made in Spain. Learn it here: https://sellfy.com/p/vaBa/# This popular theme originally written by Cuban pianist Ernesto Lecuona has been interpreted many times by many guitarists. For my arrangement, I put together material from Sabicas and of my own.

Arroza con leche

We prepared a number of fresh fruits to add to our rice pudding dish - pineapple, oranges, kiwi, grapes and mango to name a few.

We looked at examples of street art in Chile. We worked with our friends to try and copy the style of the Chilean artists - Here are some examples of our Chilean street art. Do you like them?

SCIENCE

Forces

We looked at measuring weight and mass using a Newton scale.

Weight is how strongly gravity is pulling an object down. It is measured in newtons (N).
Mass is how much matter (or ‘stuff’) is inside an object. It is measured in kilograms (kg).
