Dance Live 2022

We are extremely proud of the superb performance our pupils gave at Dance Live 2022 last night at Portsmouth Guildhall. They excelled themselves! All of the young people taking part put their heart and soul into a fantastic show after what has been another very challenging year. Seeing them all perform so well on stage was a real joy for those of us in the audience who had the pleasure of being so well entertained. Thanks and well done to all the children who took part and for all of you that supported the hard work that went into putting on such a great performance. A special thanks to Lia Chance for keeping dance alive at Bitterne Manor once again this year. Thank you!

Dance Live Performance

We are pleased to share some more pictures taken during the filming of the 'Just Imagine' performance! They all looked fabulous and did an amazing job! Well done to all that took part. A special thanks to Mrs Chance for once again inspiring our pupils to do their best!

Dance Live - Just Imagine

A great deal of hard work has been put into the Dance Live - 'Just Imagine' - project over the last year and today was the day the children's performance was filmed. We are so proud of all of their efforts and the important message they have shared through their performance. We look forward to being able to share this with you later this term.

Dance Live 2021 - 'Just Imagine'

Let’s explore the devastating impact humans are having our planet.  We know many of the solutions – we just need to act.  When we have a shared understanding of the problems we face, and the solutions available, change will happen.  We are the children of today, we want a better future, just imagine what we can achieve if we all do our bit.

Our Amazing Cats!

We were treated to a purrfect performance of 'CATS' this week. Our amazingly talented pupils created their own version of the musical to entertain us during their after school dance club. Well done and a 5/5 start review to them! Thanks to Hannah & Lia for their dedication and support for the performing arts at BMPS!

JRock: Rehearsals going well!

Here's a very sneaky preview of the rehearsals at JRock happening right now. Looking very good indeed and can't wait to see it later!

Frozen Wonderland Showcase

Today, in Kingfisher Class, the room was transformed into a Frozen Arctic Wonderland. The children had the opportunity to share their learning with family and friends across a range of activities.

The structure of the Early Years curriculum allows us to explore a range of themes across the year and build in learning opportunities that will cater for a number of vital skills simutaneously.

  

The children finished off the showcase in the Hall with our Frozen dance to Disney's 'Let it Go'. All the children participated whole-heartedly, after reassuring the gentlemen that they would not be required to don any form of Elsa attire!

I would like to say a massive thank you to the children for their wonderful effort and commitment to learning - today and every day! Secondly, once again, I would like to thank you all for your valuable support and investment in your children's learning and progress. If you would like to try out any of these ideas at home, please let us know how you get on - a great introduction to using the hoover too!

Dance day

 

This week Nightingales had their dance day. They worked together as a whole class to create a dance with Miss Joseph to the tune of 'Ghostbusters'. The children also worked together to develop their own steps. The day was a success and the children danced really well and remembered all the steps!

Robins Dance Day!

Wow! What great dancers we have in Robins class.  Today we were split into different groups. Some of us were robots while others were a jack in the box, spinning top and puppets. Can you guess from the pictures who was who?

Bitterne's Got Talent!

Our talented Year 6 pupils put on their leavers' show for parents and family members last night. We were all very entertained by song, dance, comedy, magic, martial arts and even a dog act! It was great show and brilliant to see a fantastic bunch of children having so much fun.
