• Artists get creative at Tate St. Ives

  Wed 08 Nov 2023

  Last week, twelve Year 5/6 children were chosen to take part in an art workshop at the Tate Gallery in St Ives. Here, the children spent some time in the gallery, studying the artwork in the Casablanca Art School exhibition. First, they made mini books, called ‘zines’ which they filled with their artwork inspired by the exhibition. After this, the children made bigger zines and used collage techniques to build their artwork using paper cut-outs, folding techniques and colourful shapes, cut out of various materials. They all did a fantastic job and represented Bodriggy Academy brilliantly.

  Ms Bragg, Mr Wood & Miss Carroll classes had a wonderful Cinderella ball today. We danced, feasted on our own homemade treats and watched a pantomime too. What a day! 

  

• DDMIX with Darcey Bussell!

  Thu 02 Nov 2023

  This week, some children in Year 5/6 had the fantastic opportunity of dancing with Dame Darcey Bussell, the world-famous ballerina!

  Throughout the workshop, each school had the chance to go up on to the stage to learn a dance with Darcey as part of her Divers Dance MIX programme. Bodriggy learnt a 1920's Charleston dance, which was enjoyed by all! The teachers even got the chance to make some ‘Night Fever’ moves on stage too.

  It was a fantastic experience and a day that will be remembered for a long time. Our children were brilliant and enthusiastic throughout, even joining in from their seats when they weren’t on the stage (as you can see in the photos!).
