On Thursday afternoon, the University of Hertfordshire came to our school this week and taught us a dance and a song that we have been practicing ready for a performance on Friday 7th March. Each class in Year 3 through to Year 6 performed the dances to everyone that we had learnt. They were based on the Wonders of the world. In Year 6 we learnt a song about Christ The Redeemer.
