South Ribble Annual Dance Competition W/C 24.3.25

On Tuesday our year 5/6 dance troop went to Lostock Hall Academy for the annual dance competition organised by South Ribble. The children have been rehearsing since October and have worked tremendously hard each week. The choreography was phenomenal and Sarah Wearden worked very closely with the children, ensuring they were prepared on the night. Here was our synopsis: ‘Our research into invention and inventors took us to Mr Thomas Edison, the inventor of the lightbulb and the first motion picture camera. When Edison was working on inventing the light bulb, he made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts. He was quoted as saying, “I will not say I failed 1,000 times, I will say that I found 1,000 ways that won't work.” This formed the inspiration for our dance. And of course without dance, music and LIGHT… would we have disco?’ Overall, we were pipped to the post and finished in 2 nd place! We are delighted with our children for their commitment and dedication. In our eyes, you were definitely winners! Thank you to the parents for all their support.
