Great excitement when the builders came into Reception!
Space Dance
This half-term, we’re very lucky to have a dance teacher coming into school to teach us dance in PE lessons. We’ll create and learn a dance which links with our Big Topic about space. We’ll even perform our dance in an assembly in front of the whole school!
It’s cold outside…
…so make sure you come to school wrapped up warm!
PE multi-skills
We’ve been practising lots of different skills in PE this week.
A chance to perform
This term sees the return of the annual dance showcase event held at Allerton Grange. Alongside Talbot, Moor Allerton Hall and Hillcrest Primary Schools, we’ll be taking part once again.
To prepare for the event we are running an eight week after-school club led by dance leaders from Allerton Grange to master the routine for the showcase.
No dance experience is necessary and it’s a great opportunity to learn a fun routine and take part in a fantastic dance event.
The club, open to boys and girls, starts next Tuesday 15 January, 3.15 – 4.30pm and will run until Tuesday 19 March. The dance showcase will be on Thursday 24 March.
There are still a few places left so call in at the office if you’d like to sign up.

Big Write!
Here are some pictures of the class getting ready for a big write this afternoon (the last day of term).
Surprisingly, they didn’t complain at all and actually seemed quite happy to do it. What a group of super learners!
I was only joking about the big write! Instead, we had a fun afternoon of playing games and singing carols.
