Well what a busy start back to InspireDance! It’s only the end of week one in term one and we are busier than ever! Lots of new topics to explore and young people to meet!
I began my week on Monday at Redwood Primary School teaching 3 classes looking at the Romans for Years 4, 5, 6 and then looking at Princes, Peasants and Pestilence. All groups worked extremely hard on their topics and started to develop their skills in dance.
Onto Wednesday and I travelled to Grantham to teach at Ropsley Primary schoolintroducing them to the topic of World War 2. The year 5/6 children knew a lot about the war (even though they had only been doing it for a day!) and use this information to help influence their movements.
On Thursday I went back to The Meadows Primary School (having taught their Key Stage 1 classes before the summer) and had very enjoyable time of teaching 3 Key Stage 2 classes with the topic of the Vikings! Lots of strong freeze frames were created to demonstrate different parts of the Viking history.
It’s Friday! Last day for InspireDance this week and I've spent the whole day at South Hykeham Primary School teaching every year group in the school! Working with Years 3/4/5 & 6 on their topic of Egypt, Year 1/2's exploring magical mysteries and looking at 'Ourselves' with Reception! A fantastic day with lovely young people working extremely hard! A great end to the week!
James and Emma from the team have also been to some schools for InspireDance such as; Redwood, Ropsley, Welbourn and Gonerby Hill Foot Primary!
InspireDance is bigger and better than ever! If you want to find out more information about how your Primary or Secondary School can get involved please contact Alice Carter; alice.carter@litc.org.uk
