The Chronicle

This week has been a whirlwind of excitement with the Performing Arts Evening for J3-6 on Tuesday, and Performing Arts afternoon for R-J2 on Thursday. It has been a great pleasure for me not only to teach these lovely children each week, but to be able to show all their parents/families their achievements has been a joy! Each and every child has grown in confidence, dance ability, musicality and team building skills. I truly believe that performing arts are so important for primary school aged children, as it allows pupils to express themselves and communicate in a completely different way and build key skills for later life. 

I will be opening up spaces within my afterschool clubs after half term for the first time in four years. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact me moveitshakeitdance@gmail.com

Thank you once again for watching the shows and supporting the children, I look forward to seeing you all at the next show

Kindest regards

In Spanish Club the children used our VR headsets and travelled to Barcelona this week. Mrs Westerman and Señora Green came along on the trip. They visited the Sagrada Familia and a tapas bar, then popped to Alicante for a beach visit, but were back at Crackley in time for lunch. The children seemed to really enjoy the feeling of being in a different country.

Love was in the air this week in Lego Club and with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we decided to celebrate love and friendship to make this special day even more memorable by letting our close friends, family members and those we care about know how much we appreciate them. So, with this in mind, we delved into making an adorable pair of birds sitting on a branch decorated with pink hearts and flowers. A pupil wanted to make this for their mum. We also made bunches of flowers to symbolise appreciation for those we care about and we even devised a dog-dating app for our beloved pets!! We made a big red heart to represent just how much love we have for our families, and we all fell in love with a colony of penguins from Madagascar sitting on a heart shaped rock making friends with a lovestruck elephant! Just smile and wave, penguins!
