  Chinese Fan and Dragon Dance Workshop

   

  Earlier this term children at St George’s experienced a Chinese Fan and Dragon Dance Workshop. The dragon symbolises good luck, long life and wisdom in Chinese culture. Children loved finding out about these ancient traditions and joined together to perform their new dance skills at the end of their session in their own Dragon Dance!

  Andy Tooze Visits St George's 

   

  Earlier this week all children were visited by the poet Andy Tooze.
  The children I spoke to following the sessions really enjoyed listening to his poems and joining in with actions.

  
  The children were all encouraged to write and share their own poems too.
  Andy was amazed at how wonderful the children’s ideas were and how they confidently engaged with his session.
