8R have been exploring the traditions of ‘Dia de los muertos’/ ‘Day of the Dead’ in Mexico, which in contrast to our Halloween is bright colourful and celebratory. This goes towards their Arts Award Explore and also their Asdan Transition Challenge Modern Foreign Languages qualifications. Pupils have been developing artwork through a variety of apps and photo manipulation software, they have been using bright colours and shapes to create sugar skull decorations and learning how to say the shape names in Spanish.
