Children from the region’s primary schools were taking part in the West Norfolk School Sport Partnership (WNSSP) Dance Festival, which had as its theme this year ‘Movies and Musicals’.

Among the talents taking to the stage were 25 Year 3 pupils from West Lynn Primary School, which is part of the Trust.

The group had been practising their routine since the beginning of term, with the help of Class Teachers Becky Lopez and Matt Smith, and Teaching Assistants Iffat Khatri and Sharon Fakenbridge, and performed a dance to the Elton John classic ‘I’m Still Standing’.

“West Lynn has taken part in the dance festivals before, and we previously had our Reception Class, Year 1 and Year 2 take part in them,” said Becky Tuvey, who is PE Lead at the school.

Other WNAT members starring in the show, which featured morning and afternoon performances, included Clenchwarton Primary and Heacham Infant School.

“Events like this give the children the opportunity to learn new skills, perform as a team with their class, and perform in front of an audience,” added Miss Tuvey.

“It is a great celebration of their hard work – and lovely for the parents to be able to watch the performance also.”
