Laura Dennis who teaches at theatre school Razzamataz Cambridge, was entered by her Principal Emma Louise Campbell, who runs the school, and beat off stiff competition from the other schools within the network. The Best Team Member Award was judged by West End star Jennifer Tierney, who is currently touring in Shrek and has been in a number of high profile shows including Wicked, Mamma Mia and Jerry Springer The Opera. Jennifer was blown away by the excellent quality of entries but Cambridge was crowned the winner due to Laura’s ability to adapt and assist in any given situation. “As a teacher, she is clearly adored by her students but as a team member, she has shown that she is willing to do anything she can to make the best of any situation for the students and the school,” said Jennifer. “Supporting her students from the class to performance shows her dedication and work ethic as not just a teacher but as a person of importance in her students’ lives.” EASTER EGGSTRAVAGANZA at West Lodge Farm Park Throughout the Easter school holidays, West Lodge Farm Park has lots of fun activities for you to enjoy in their Eggstravaganza!

Activities taking place from Good Friday through to Easter Monday www.westlodgeruralcentre.co.uk The Bear’s Melody Lingers Longer When we move to music we are freely expressing the words we can't say. This is doubly so with young children who each day experience the world anew and must find a way to process their experiences. Just as taste, texture and colours aid child’s sensory development, so too does music. Turning soulful sounds into co-ordinated rhythmic movement is the basis for dance expression and a stepping-stone for developing aesthetic judgement. The beauty of and charm of rhyming songs aids vocabulary and early exposure to music enhances a child’s ability to learn to listen to both music and lyrics and appreciate how melody and rhythm dictate dance steps. Dancing is great for muscle development, core strength, stamina and balance. The music used in the Melody Bear dance classes have been exclusively created by composer, Eugene Kulikov, and work in tandem with the dances and story concepts to encourage the free association of ideas, which are so important to a child’s imagination and development. Eugene uses the full palette of orchestral sounds to compose creative arrangements in a variety of musical genres to encourage every young child to get up on their feet to dance! Be it the sound of a lyrical harp for dancing butterflies, a country harmonica tune for the busy farmer, a classical celesta melody for a tiptoeing fairy, the cheerful steel drums for a carnival parade, or the honky-tonk piano for quacking ducks – there’s something for everyone to have fun dancing and listening to with Melody Bear.

The work of the Raptor Foundation and its dedicated team is quite amazing. It is a permanent home to over 180 birds, comprising of over 30 different species of eagles, hawks, falcons and owls and over 20 species of reptiles, invertebrates and Meerkats. Your visit to the centre not only helps for the care of those animals but behind the scenes The Raptor Foundation provides a 24 hour medical rescue service and rehabilitation facilities for injured raptors with the aim to returning them back to the wild.
