Posted on by B. O'Leary
by Alexandra, Maeve, Luke & Cade December 2020 This year, because of Coronavirus, we couldn’t do our usual big Christmas production so we decided to make a video within our bubble (class).

Dance Class

Posted on by B. O'Leary
by Chris, Lucas, Dylan, Amy, Nathan & Layla November 2020 We started a dance class on Wednesdays in November for five weeks.  For the first few weeks, we learned to dance to the song "Level Up" by Ciara. It was really fun but was very tiring! The second dance we did was "Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. We did that for two weeks and it was extremely hard but great fun.  After ever session we played a game where there was a person on and they had to turn against ...
