Today we did a Samba Workshop and we played all sorts of drums. We learnt all sorts beats, like 1+2+3+4+, and we made a house using the sounds of the drums. First some of the class made the floor and we played on the drums, “1 2 3 4”. Some other people from the class played the wall, which was “1+2+3+4+”. Then we did the roof, which sounded like “1 ea 2 ea 3 ea 4 ea”. We worked together and I really enjoyed it. Brazil is the birthplace of Samba and Brazil is the largest country in Latin America. Later on in Latin American Week, I had a Mexican evening at home. I invited Amber, Olivia, Hannah and Lucy. We ate lots of new and different types of food from Mexico. We enjoyed salsa, fajitas, enchiladas, tortillas and guacamole. We thought guacamole was mushy peas, and we also had fried beans that looked like baby food! We had a lovely time.
