At the Studio Summer Concert last Saturday we had a competition to guess the name of this very musical dog. As nobody picked the original winning name, we instead used a randomiser to select the winner. Meet: Rimsky-Claswsakov, canine composer extraordinaire! ๐ถ๐ถ๐
Congratluations to our winner Seraphina, who gets to take this lovely doggy home, and thank you to everyone who took part and helped us raise money for our fabulous studio charity, Jessie's Fund.

Back in May our A68 Young Scottish Country Dancers were joined by some friends from RSCDS Richmond, North Yorkshire to take part in a project run by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society, filming demonstration videos for the dances in their latest publication. We were allocated a 'party' dance called The Borrowdale Exchange, which we had lots of fun learning and recording.
Our video is now up - hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed dancing it! ๐๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ
P.S. Watch this space for a chance coming very soon to have a go at this dance, and many more!

On the first day of SATs week, here's a beautiful performance by one of the amazing Year 6s I'm privileged to work with, Rosie - here singing a duet with the equally fabulous Lottie. ๐
Rosie was my โญ๏ธStar of the Termโญ๏ธ last term, chosen for her consistent positive attitude, dedication, maturity, and helpfulness to others. These kind of qualities may not come up on school tests but, for me, they count for a whole lot more.
