Dance for Rights workshop Team BC
This week, our Year 2 children took part in a Dance for Rights workshop as they prepared for the nationwide Dance for Rights event on Monday 7th July.
The workshop encouraged the children to think carefully about how movement can be used to express ideas and tell a story. They created a sequence of three movements, with each one representing something different about themselves. The first movement showed a hobby or interest, with children choosing activities such as football, baseball, cricket, swimming and crafting. The second movement reflected their personality, while the third represented a hope or dream for the future. We heard wonderful ideas, from becoming a YouTuber to dreams of winning races and taking on exciting challenges.
It was lovely to see the children using dance as a way to express themselves and share what is important to them. They listened carefully, practised their sequences and enjoyed watching each other's creative ideas.
On Monday 7th July, Years 2–5 will join thousands of children across the country in the Dance for Rights event, livestreamed from the Royal Opera House, celebrating children's rights through movement. We are looking forward to taking part in this special event together.
A reminder that children should come to school on Monday 7th July wearing a T-shirt in their House colour, ready to take part in the performance.
