The Woodcroft Dance Team

The Woodcroft Dance Team have excelled themselves with two fantastic performances in recent events. On 7th March they travelled to Wimbledon New Theatre to compete in the 2019 London Regional Dance Off Finals finishing in second place and gaining automatic entry into the National Finals this June. Many of the team are new this year, so this was a fantastic result against 30 schools from across the region.

Then on Thursday 14th March they took their Black Panther themed dance, titled ‘Wakanda Forever’ to the Finchley ArtsDepot and wowed the entire audience at the Barnet Dance Festival.

At the Great Big Dance Off

Competitions come thick and fast for this amazing group of performers. On the 27th March they travel to Stoke on Trent for the UDOIT Dance Foundation National Competition. This includes teams entering from all over the UK! Miss Williams said after their most recent performance: “They did really well, with better energy levels – but still room to improve!” .

We look forward to following their progress.

The BIG Read 2019

We held our annual Big Read from 4th to 8th March. Our focus book for the week was Lewis Carroll’s classic of English children’s literature. Alice in Wonderland!

M&M Theatre – Alice in Wonderland

On Tuesday morning M&M Theatre performed to KS1 and KS2

Then, to celebrate World Book Day teachers shared some of their favourite books in special storytelling sessions held around the school. Pupils could choose which book they wanted to hear read.

We also asked pupils to post photos of themselves reading in unusual places! See more extreme readers on our Big Read page by clicking here…

Finally, on Friday, the climax of Big Read Week was Mad Hatter Day! Inspired by the character that Alice met on her journey we asked pupils to come to school wearing … you guessed it – a mad hat!
