Our Trip to Brazil
The School Visits
by Maisie Wilson
On Friday the 6th of November, Miss Peel (Year 6
teacher) and Miss Beuster (Year 2 teacher) started their journey to
Brazil. They started off by flying from Newcastle to Amsterdam, then
Amsterdam to Sao Paulo, Brazil.
During their time in Sao Paulo, the teachers took a 4 hour
bus journey to Araraquara (pronounced arr-a-ra-quara) to
visit their school. In this school, the children were ages 15-17.
Unlike the first school, it had more learning recourses, but still
not so many.
Interviews with Miss Peel and Miss Beuster
by Jessica Armstong
In Sao Paulo they went to visit the first school, where
learning facilities were not very popular. Unlike schools
in the UK, there were no bookshelves, displays, etc. The
classrooms were very bare and unfortunatly not very
colourful.
They had really enjoyed their travel and loved learning about the
Brazilian culture.
Which school was your favourite?
Miss Peel - I liked all of the schools I visited. But the second school was my
favourite.
Miss Beuster - Angelina Rolfson as the children were younger and we spent more
time with them.
2.
How do they celebrate Christmas?
Miss Peel - Most of the people we met were Christians so they celebrated Christmas
in a similar way to us.
Miss Beuster - Very similar to us, and cook lots of good food and spend time with
their families and Santa comes.
3.
How do they celebrate Halloween?
Miss Peel - The first school didn’t encourage celebrating Halloween. But the second
school had a ‘Halloween Potter’ day where they did Harry Potter based activities..
Miss Beuster - They don’t believe in Halloween because it’s a Catholic country but
they do a Harry Potter themed school day.
4.
What was Sugerloaf Mountain like?
Miss Peel - It was amazing! I really liked the cable car ride.
Miss Beuster - Amazing abnd breath taking views. It was a wobbly cable car ride!
5.
Can you sit on Christ the Redeemer?
Miss Peel - I don’t think so, but you can touch the base.
Miss Beuster - No, way too high up.
6.
Where did you stay?
Miss Peel - We stayed in Sao Paulo, Araraquara and Rio De Janerio.
Miss Beuster - We stayed all over.
7.
Why does Christ the Redeemer look like he has metal rings on his arms?
Miss Peel - I am not sure. It just might be the way the picture was taken.
Miss Beuster - I don’t know.
8.
What were your favourite foods over there?
Miss Peel - I really liked the rice and bean dishes. I also had a drink that was made out of sugarcane which was wonderful.
Miss Beuster - Tapioca and drinking fresh coconut milk.
9.
How many people live in Brazil?
Miss Peel - We looked on Google and it said 202,033,670.

Athletics
By
Isobel White
On Wednesday the 11th of November, Year 6 went on a trip
to the Sports Hall Athletics to do loads of fun sport. We did
many sports including relay, chest throw, javelin, jumping and
many more. The team leader showed us what to do and then
we were off. First the boys did running (track events) which
was relay javelin and running, while girls did field events such
as speed bounce, triple jump, and long jump. When Craig (the
sports director) told us what place we came we were happy
to say that we had come joint 5th place! Maisie Wilson said,
Netball
February 16
“I really enjoyed today, my favourite sport was the long jump
but I really liked all of them!”
Asha Hunter also said, “I just did the running and I am so tired
but it was really fun!”
At the end of the day, everyone enjoyed what we had done and
we were very proud too. We were all very tired and worn out
but loved every single moment of it!
On Thursday the 12th November Year 6
and Year 5 went to a netball tournament at
Ferryhill College. There were eight other
schools but only two courts to play in! We had
two teams each played twice; we even played
against each other.
The results of that one were AV1 vs. AV2.
AV1 got 1 point and AV2 won with 4 points.
When we played against Hardwick AV1 got
1 point and Hardwick got 0! When AV2 vs.
Coxhoe we got 2 points and they got 0 again!
Everyone there played extremely well. We all
enjoyed it!

On Friday the 13th of November, our school took part in Children in Need’s
‘Funny Hair Day’.
Thank you to everyone who donated and/or made the effort with their hair!
Children in Need are a charity for children who are not as fortunate as we are.
We raised money to this charity by donating 1 pound (or maybe more) each. In
total our school raised 143 pounds.
By Maisie Wilson
We are very grateful to everybody who donated, whether they had silly hair,
or not! Well done to all of the children, parents and teachers for taking part.
Forgetting the fact it involved blue hands and red faces, it was still a very good
day.

Making Scones
(1) First we had different ingredients and they were margarine, flour, one egg and some milk.
(2) Next we put in the margarine and then we tried to make the mixture into breadcrumbs. It was
very sticky!
(3) Then we had to add the milk and we added the egg. We needed to use spoons to mix it
because we were not allowed to use our hands. When it wasn’t so sticky, we were allowed to
use our hands .
(4) Then we had to crush it altogether and then put it on the side. We had to roll it out but we
rolled it a bit thin! We started again and made it a bit thicker. We cut little shapes out of it.
(5) We put them in the oven and they baked for 5 or 10 mins - then voila - they were done and
they smelt so good!
E-Safety Tip

E- Safety Rules:
•

Tell your parents if something happens;
Don’t meet up with strangers;
Don’t post rude or inappropriate photos;
Don’t talk to strangers;
NEVER give any personal information!
In assembly a policeman came in to talk to us about
anti bullying week, and one of the biggest bullying
problems is cyber bullying, because it causes people
to get embarrassed so they don’t report it. Therefore
it never stops and some people get so depressed that
they self harm.
This is extremely bad so if it happens to you
REPORT IT!!!

Selaron Steps with his artistic designs. These steps
are in Brazil in Rio De Janeiro. Miss Peel and Miss
Beuster walked up the Selaron Steps when they went

Brazil Dance
By Ruby Watson
Miss Peel and Miss Beuster (the Year 6 and Year
2 teacher) went to a school in Brazil. In the P.E
class at that school, they made up a dance to the
song ‘Thriller’ by Michael Jackson. Miss Peel took
a video of the dance so that we could see what it was
like.
Being in Year 6, we do dancing during the Winter
in P.E, so this term we are learning the dance and if
we have time, we will add some more moves into
the routine. When we have finished, we will video
it and sent it to Brasil.
