Progressive Sports Dance Taster Day
 
We were fortunate enough to have a professional dance teacher visit and teach all of the children different dance techniques. All of the children thoroughly enjoyed their sessions. 
 
 
Cheltenham Literature Festival
 
Children from years 1 to 6, visited the literature festival and took part in workshops. Years 1, 2 and 3 went the to the theatre and watched Joseph Coelho perform poems and talk about the poetry he has written. 
 
Children in years 4, 5 and 6, listened to a talk by Hannah Gold, author of Turtle Moon. She talked about what inspired her to write her books based on animals. She has visited many countries in the world, which she talked about in her presentation.
 
The children were then able to explore more of the festival and visited places such as The Den, where they took part in arts and crafts activities. We were lucky enough to be able to get some of our books signed by the authors to keep in school.
