National MOVE Day is our annual nationwide celebration of the achievements made by children and adults through the MOVE Programme. We are delighted that now even more people with complex disabilities and health needs are learning how to sit, stand, walk and MOVE and we would like you all to join in with our celebration!
MOVE Day 2009 - 24th September
September
saw our
most successful MOVE
Day to date, with a record number of schools and centres
putting on their glad rags and joining in the
fun for Strictly MOVE. We were absolutely delighted so many
of you chose to celebrate
your achievements with us. So thank you to all of you who
got involved.
Unfortunately only one school could be chosen to win the MOVE Day prize, but after a lot of deliberating Oaklands School, Edinburgh was chosen as the winner of the £500 Jenx voucher and assorted Hannah Montana goodies. The prize was awarded for the fantastic way the school embraced this years ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ theme, with the resulting celebrations and dance competition being truly fantastic.
The pupils and staff in each class competed by showing off their dancing skills in one of the four following categories: Ballroom, Latin American, Rock ‘n Roll or Disco with dances that included Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Come Away with Me by Norah Jones, Greased Lightning from the musical Grease and “Do you know the way to Amarillo”. Just like the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing the school had organised a judging panel with four very critical judges and the voice of Alan Dedicoat. It was a spectacular event.
"We are all delighted that we have won the National MOVE Day competition. Thanks to the hard work from all the staff and volunteers, it turned out to be a spectacular and very special event for us all.” School Physiotherapist
Second place went to St Nicholas' School, Wiltshire who won a selection of kindly donated Disney products.
Our 'Highly Commended' award went to Methihill School, Fife for their supreme fundraising efforts, raising a fantastic £300.
