Line Dancing Festival
Children from Roman Road Primary School participated in Gateshead's Line Dancing Festival last night.
The children and parents thoroughly enjoyed the event, with everyone taking part and 'having a go', parents included! Children from Year 3, 4 and 5 represented the school and their behaviour was exceptional, they are a credit to our school.
We look forward to participating in next year with a view to having our own dance to present to the audience.
Many thanks to Miss Ternent, Miss Stubbs and Mrs Lacey for all their hard work in teaching the children the dances.
Photos to follow soon

Gateshead Dance Festival
A selection of children from year 5 and 6 amazed the audience with their rendition of What Time Is It? from High School Musical.
We arrived at Gateshead leisure centre at approximately 5.15pm where we eagerly awaited our turn in the 2008 Gateshead Dance Festival.
We were fourth on the dance floor and soon got the audience clapping and stomping their feet as we danced. We were all in time and gave maximum effort. Mrs Inkster and Miss Ternent were so proud of us after all of the hard work we had put in.
As soon as the girls split and let the audience see the boys with their basketballs the audience went wild! We received an amazing applause at the end.
We thoroughly enjoyed watching the other schools participate and were are very determined to be part of it again next year. Perhaps we might even bring some of Key Stage One along as they definitely get the audience attention with the "aah" factor.
Well done to everyone involved - your were FABULOUS!
