The students participated in a dance workshop on Tuesday this week. They engaged with dance in the aim to realise that learning is a fun and enjoyable process. The students worked through the steps of some favourite routines and had a go at challenging improvisation activities.

Lunch Club Overview
Lunch clubs are back!!!!
Making lunch times extra special!
Lunch clubs are completely run by the dedication of our wonderful staff at OLA. Staff volunteer half of their lunch time and run a club for students to attend, learn, socialise and enjoy!
Students are very fortunate to have a variety of them on offer each week. Lunch Clubs provide students with other options of play rather than outside play during half of their lunch.
Lunchtime clubs at OLA offer students the opportunity to engage and participate in activities that they enjoy and are passionate about, socialise with groups of multi-age students, 'take a break' from the playground or try something new.
