The Dancing Month

DANCING MONTH

Through this project the children gained a further introduction and embedding of each other’s cultural heritage.
The students researched about traditional dances  and music around the world and the meaning behind them, exploring their cultural heritage. After this each school focused on their partner school’s traditional dance and learnt the history behind it.

What we do at the Weekend project.

This morning we have taken part in a facetime session with Mohammad Shamel School in Lebanon. We looked at how the children in both schools spent their weekends and we were surprised by similar they were. 


We also had visitors from Guadeloupe in to see how we use ICT in our partnership. They went away very impressed with all the hard work in both schools.
