Strictly Come Dancing isn’t a patch on this!

Over 100 pupils from 9 primary schools in the Retford Oaks family attended a Dance Showcase at Retford Oaks. They had the opportunity to learn about several different types of dance (Hip Hop, Tap, Ballet, Irish, Street and Break Dancing). They were given an insight into the cultures where each dance originates and also into the traditional costumes/dress that is worn by the different types of dancers. It was then time for the pupils to have a go at each dance themselves and to get down and boogey! I would like to say a big thank you to Kelly Trotter who put in a lot of time and effort training and preparing the Year 11 Leaders who delivered the showcase.

Come and get your strawberries and cream!

A fun and rewarding morning’s tennis was had by all the 100 primary school pupils who attended this festival at Retford Oaks. Lesley Rodgers (Tennis Coach) has spent a lot of time in the past few months coaching tennis to pupils from the primary schools in the Retford Oaks’ family. This festival gave the pupils the opportunity to show off their newly learnt tennis skills and to develop them further by taking part in numerous enjoyable activities and games. I would like to say a big thank you to Lesley for all her efforts and also to all the pupils who made it such a fantastic event!
