Countdown to Dance Extravaganza Begins
Block 3 ECAs mark the start of the journey towards our annual Dance Extravaganza’s in June. Sign-up for Dance and Drama Academy ECAs in Block 3 to be part of the show!
Just like last year we will have a Junior Dance Extravaganza and a Senior Dance Extravaganza spread over two fantastic nights. Primary students will be involved in the Junior Extravaganza on Monday 8th of June.
Jazz, Ballet, Street Jazz, Hip Hop, Cheerleading or Musical Theatre – there is something for everyone.
This is your chance to perform on stage in front of a an audience in full costume and make-up like a professional dancer. Being involved in a Dance ECA is a great way to stay fit, meet new friends and learn new skills.

Learning
Preparing for residential
In order to prepare for our residential, we have organised a practise kayaking session during school hours. Our outdoor specialist teacher will assist us in ensuring that our Year 6 students have the basic skills in place.
| Class | Date |
|---|---|
| 6H, 6P, 6J and 6G | 15th January |
| 6C, 6E, 6F and 6D | 22nd January |
Students should bring their swim kits and a long sleeved rash vest with them.
Students will wear life jackets during all kayaking sessions at school and during our residential. Furthermore, qualified members of staff will be with students at all times. The water during residential is very shallow.

For some children, any exposure to nuts is potentially very dangerous and can be life threatening.
We do not allow any nuts to be brought into Primary. This includes snacks on school transport, birthday treats and food items brought in for any other special days.
Happy Birthday to all the Year 6 students who have a birthday this week.
