Darren Hough, TY student was somewhat sceptical about learning to do 'capoeira' when a Brazilian teacher came to school on Thursday, 8th May.
On the 8th May, a Brazilian came to school to teach the TYs martial arts combined with dance. This was called capoeira. At first I was sceptical about the whole thing, but as soon as we started doing it I realised how fun and amazing it was. We did rolls and jumps prancing around the hall and having fun. I really enjoyed doing the capoeira dance and would like to try again.

This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
