The winning teams overall were Year One and Two Japan, Year Three and Four Equador and Year Five and Six Mexico.
The week was rounded off with a Teesside style Samba Parade.
Mrs Lockney said: “Mrs Knox our music leader worked with the children on the drums all week in the lead up to the parade.”
Each child had to put together their own musical instrument for the grand finale. Together with the samba drumming on loan from Tees Valley Music Service, the parade turned out to be a huge success and a spectacular finish for a fun-filled week which was had by all the children.
