The workshop had the theme of Grease where we had
to make a video to the song Summer Nights.
I went with three of my friends, Nisha, Amy and
Louise. We all dressed up so that we would
look like we were from the film.

I wore a skirt with a blue cardigan and a pink
scarf around my neck. My friends wore cropped
trousers and we all put on our dancing shoes.
When we arrived, there were as many as 32 other
people there!
There were children from all around the county,
from Dereham, Norwich, Harleston and Swaffham. I was surprised how
many people were there.
We had to work in pairs to practise a particular
line from the song and do a dance for the video.
We then did a name game which was doing a dance
to your full name and we also danced in groups of seven.
At one time we had to make up a name to join the
Pink Ladies, or for the boys, The T Birds!

My favourite part was when we were being filmed
doing our dance to Summer Nights.
It was so difficult because we had to keep dancing
and dancing across the stage!
But we had three breaks so we could loiter in the
main hall or go and buy a lollipop in the cafe.
At the workshop we learnt many things, like how
to zoom in and out on the camera.
We were told that on the video they would add us
behind Olivia Newton John and John Travolta. They were able to do
this because on stage we had to dance in front of a green screen.
I'm really pleased because we will all get a copy
of the video to keep!
I would definitely go again because it was so lively
and great fun and the carers there were really kind.
