Delves Lane Dance Festival 2019-20
This term all our children, from Nursery to Year 6, have been working hard in their PE lessons to compose and perform a dance routine linked to the topics they have been learning about in class and all the children came together this week to perform their dances as part of our annual Dance Festival.
The children had great fun watching their peers perform and clapped and cheer on one another throughout. Once again, they put on a fantastic show with themed performances from Superheros to Space that would rival anything seen on Britain’s Got Talent! A huge well done to all the children who took part.
Take a look below at some of the children in action!

Throughout the trip, the children were excellent ambassadors for our school, particularly some of the older children who looked after both younger pupils and members of the public who were also using the facilities. Well done to all the children who took part in the visit and congratulations to Phoenix House for earning the most points last term. Keep up the good work!
