The Chronicle

Parents were treated to a fabulous performance on Monday from afterschool club, Move it Shake it Dance Group. After six weeks of training, learning the routines and rehearsing their moves, the children’s hard work paid off with an exceptional display of talent across the year groups.

Crackley’s older pupils kicked things off with a group number, followed by the younger ones, to music from The Greatest Showman, including some fantastic solo spotlights, displaying both dance and gymnastic ability. The second performance to Lost Boy by Ruth B. was a slower, more moving act showcasing synchronicity and perfect timing from the older dancers.

The show ended with an upbeat and energetic display to Disney's Aladdin, Friend Like Me, executed with such infectious energy from the youngsters, that it had the audience on their feet, itching to join in!

Miss Jas commented, 'I'm so proud of them all I could burst! The number of calls I had from parents afterwards was overwhelming. They were a pleasure to teach, and I can't wait for September to do it all again!'

In Lego Club this week we reflected on all the models we had made this past year. From summer gardens drenched with palm trees, to wildlife explorers in the jungle. We had the super-cool strengths of the mighty Superheroes, to princesses with a difference and Ninjas making the odd appearance. We investigated the oceans with Bo the seal and Shelley the turtle. We pretended we were astronauts and invented the most awesome space rockets and celebrated a Coronation too! We went to infinity and beyond with Star Wars and the impressive Marvel heroes. We problem-solved, created and experimented together as a team; we persevered when we thought we couldn’t finish our model, managing our frustration in the process and celebrating in the happiness when we did. But most of all, we had fun firing our imaginations with new ways of learning. Enjoy the summer. Lego Club will be back, but not next week as it's the KS2 Sports Day!
