Denise Rowe has spent an afternoon with classes 1 and 2 this week teaching them a simple routine to an African drumming beat. The routine will be developed over the coming weeks and those children wishing to participate will be given the opportunity to showcase their dance at The Northcott Theatre at the 3D Dance Festival on Sunday March 11th.

The children were really inpsired by Denise and everyone was thoroughly engaged in the workshop.

Regarding our partnership with Chireseri Primary School in Zimbabwae the children will be working on various projects over the coming half term to send out to Zimbabwae in April to inform their children about Cockwood School and the surrounding area. They will be working on a school newspaper, an information booklet, a powerpoint and a range of video diaries that Chartwell can show the whole school on his visit. It will be a very exciting few months building and establishing our link with Chireseri children and the teachers.
