As part of the Royal Opera House Creative Writing though the Arts project, Year 4 have used dance to create stories in the Style of Roald Dahl. We were visited by a dance specialist who helped us explore Roald Dahl's characters through dance and movement. In class, we then created dance sequences to show our main character interacting with our setting as well as a duet to show two characters speaking. Please click below to view the video...

The morning Nursery children had their sports day today. They behaved beautifully and we were impressed that they all joined in and every child finished each race even when they found balancing on the Minion hopper challenging because their legs were too long (or too short) or their eggs rolled off their spoon again ...and again.... and again...!

On behalf of year 5, thank you to everyone who came and supported The Jungle Book.
