Creativity, Innovation and Fun !!


We are really into the swing of things around our Arts Celebration !! 

Sir Ken Robinson's thoughts and insights around creativity and the importance of the arts in our programmes has been included and shared across many communications and newsletter pieces in the past and certainly something we at Worser Bay School cycle back to often.  It fits in with our aspirations to educate the 'whole child'.


Sir Ken Robinson places the emphasis on the arts, including dance. He believes that these play a crucial role in personal development. Dance helps students develop confidence, self-expression, and a sense of identity.  Sir Ken Robinson believes that engaging in dance can improve students' self-esteem and help them express their emotions and ideas in unique ways.


It has been lovely to see our students shine in different ways throughout this creative process.  We have seen some innovative and creative thinking alongside the movers and shakers and we certainly have some critics and keen evaluators of our dance moves and the music !!  The Arts Celebration has given many avenues to be creative across the curriculum.


Yes, it is still a big secret however I’m sure you have had some clues by now.  


Here we are expressing ideas and our word of the week in terms of movements has been


Exaggeration !!
