Flamenco at The Sage
On Monday 15th March Year 1 astounded the audience at the Sage with our fabulous Flamenco dance. We received the biggest cheer and even managed to get our photograph in the local paper.
Our parents, grandparents, Mrs Mckeown and Mrs Inkster were so proud of us after all the hard work we have put in.
Next stop - Hollywood!

Oliver DVD!
The amazing Summer 2009 Musical is now available to buy on DVD for a bargain price of £5!! If you would like to purchase a copy, ask Mrs Redhead at Reception or Miss Allen in the Y2 classroom.
The Year 5 and 6 children put in loads of time and energy to make this a fantastic musical. Many people said it was 'better than going to the theatre'! Our children can match the talent of those on the stages of London! I can't wait for this year's musical...
Please make a comment on the website to say what you enjoyed about Oliver!

Our Night at The Sage
Last night 18 children from Year 5 and 6 attended Gateshead's dance festival at The Sage. We had rehearsed for weeks our charleston dance and we were ready to jive!
All of the schools were brilliant. But of course we were tremendous. I am so proud of each and every one and think you really deserved the huge appalause you received. Many thanks to all the staff and governors who helped on the night and a special thanks to the children themselves.
You Rock Roman Road!!!!!

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!
