Please return the form and money on Monday, if you have not done
so already. A reminder that children will not be back at school until

Street Dance
There were some great shapes, freezes, spins and moves thrown by
the class yesterday, culminating in a ‘dance-off ‘ battle with children
giving it some real ‘attitude’. Hopefully you can get your parents
having a go at some of the moves too.
Homework
Choose a ‘superlative’ mammal, reptile, bird or insect that you can find
at Paignton Zoo, for example the fastest, slowest, longest (neck, tail)
