Capoeira
Besouro Zagon came to visit W6 today to teach us a few capoeira moves. We’ve been visiting Brazil via video, books and the internet, so it was great to see one of Brazil’s national sports come alive in our classroom. W6 students bravely entered the roda with Besouro and played capoeira with him to the music of the berimbau.
What did you think of Besouro’s visit? What did you learn about capoeira?

I was really nervous when he asked me to come into the circle. But it stopped as soon as I started capoeira
