• Time to Boogie with Creative Academy

  Tue 20 Feb 2024 Mrs Downer

  Creative Academy!

  This term, many of our pupils have benefited from our support of the final year dance students from Creative Academy.  CA is a unique partnership between Slough Borough Council and The University of West London. The aim of the Creative Academy is to offer practice based industry standard training, alongside rigorous academic study that reflects the cultural diversity within the dance industry. Some of our year 3 and 4 students will continue their journey with CA into the summer term.

   

  Ali has been working very hard with our year 5 pupils to learn a set routine. Many children have been chosen to perform and represent Penn Wood in Slough and Berkshire’s very first Dance Festival happening next week. The after school dance club will also be putting on a ‘cheery’ performance! Here’s just a little sneak peak of rehearsals in full swing, but NO SPOILERS! ;)

   

  Look out for volume 5 of Penn News photos of the amazing performance!

   

  

• Year 3 Boogie time!

  Tue 20 Feb 2024 Mrs Downer

  Penn Wood have built a strong relationship with Creative Academy and we welcomed new final year dance students for the second year running. They carried out their superb dance lesson plans with year 3 this term. The children enjoyed exploring and creating routines using canons, unison, formation, mirroring and a selection of motifs to combine for an overall stunning class performance. Well done, year 3!
