At Moortown Primary, we work closely with other companies to enhance our curriculum.
This week, we’ve been delighted to welcome Theatre in Education back in to school to work with Y6 children. Theatre in Education are great: they produce and perform quality drama which they then follow up with workshops which develop the personal and social awareness and understanding of our pupils. This week, they’ve performed ‘One of Fagin’s Boys’. Iona, one of our Y6 pupils, commented, “I think Fagin’s Boys was imaginitive although some of it was hard to understand. Also, I liked it because it was telling us what the life of a child in care might be like.”
We’ve also welcomed Yoga Bugs in to school. They’ve worked with some of our classes – check out the pics in Y3 Class News for example. YogaBugs are always popular visitors to school – they develop children’s physical and emotional health through yoga-inspired activity. They bring stories to life through specially developed moves which combine fun with exercise: children go on wild adventures where they may roar like a lion, fly like a bird or blast into outer space! Isabelle, who is in Y3, said, “I think it really calms you down and stretches your body.”
We’d also like to thank Leeds Festival Wind Quintet. Recently, they played at the ceremony for turning on Moortown’s Christmas Lights. They’ve since made a donation to school to spend on music – a very kind and thoughtful gesture.
Great partnerships!
