Recently in nursery the purple group have been loving go noodle which you can find on you tube, so I thought try this at home and you could get your sibling or adult up for a dance. You could try and be a superhero like the doctor in the Story of ‘Zog and the flying doctor’.

In Miss McAteer’s house her children love to get dressed up and dance. TO make it even more fun they like to get dressed up in their dressing up costumes and dance around all together. Try it and don’t forget to send in your photos.
