Today, we turned back time to learn some dance moves from the early decades of the 1900s to bring our World War Two topic to life. The children practised their Jive, Swing, Jitterbug and Lindyhop moves during a one-hour workshop and then performed their routine to the other classes this afternoon. We were all proud of the way the children remembered their routines and got really stuck in to the session with enthusiasm.
