TEACHERS are learning fancy footwork in a bid to liven up lessons.
As part of a project between Durham Local Education Authority (LEA) and the Easington and Seaham Education Action Zone, artists from the American Wolftrap Foundation are passing on their skills.
All this week, teachers from across County Durham have been converging on Pittington Primary School for workshops by the foundation. Up to 40 people a day learnt how movement and dance can be used to stimulate children's learning. Workshops are also being held in Rosemary Lane Nursery School, Easington.
Janet Bennett, a quality inspection officer with Durham LEA, said: "This is a really exciting opportunity for early years practitioners to see performers working with young people in an innovative way."
