DDMIX Final 💃🏼🕺🏼🤠

What a day! Today some of Year 5 took part in the final of the DDMIX by Dame Darcey Bussell competition. During the spring term Year 5 have been working really hard in their PE lessons rehearsing a line dance for the competition and were chosen as one of 12 schools to take part in today’s final. Unfortunately Year 5 didn’t win the competition however they had a fantastic time and gave their a fantastic performance in front of Dame Darcey, the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Newcastle and an audience full of supportive friends and family. Miss Beggan, Miss Davidson, Miss Patterson and Mrs Barrett accompanied the children and were all extremely proud of them all. Well done Year 5 we think you are stars!
