To Parents of Year 3&4 regarding The Bee Musical<\/b><\/p>\n

The children have already been working hard for their performance of The Bee Musica<\/span>l. It will take place<\/span> on <\/span>Thursday 19th March<\/i><\/b> at 6pm,<\/i><\/b> and it<\/span> promises to be a really lovely show. Children should now know their parts and speaking lines, and in order to help us put this together, we would ask if everyone could be ‘off script’ by Monday 16th March please. We will provide most of the costumes, but we would be really grateful if you would ensure your child has <\/span>black trousers <\/i><\/b>please. These can be any style, but we ask that these are <\/span>plain <\/i><\/b>with no extra wording or logos please as these show really easily under our stage lights. We ask that you ensure your child has these in school in a named plastic bag by <\/span>Monday 16th March<\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

With thanks,<\/span><\/p>\n

Emma, Zehra, Rebecca, Lenka and Fern<\/span><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s \u2018Thursday Thought\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the Winter Olympics, even the best skaters in the world fall down on the ice. If you knew that falling down was just a normal part of getting better, what brave new thing would you try today?<\/span><\/p>\n

Please have a think and discussion about this over the weekend. The children can then join Lenka after half term on Monday at morning break to discuss. <\/span><\/p>\n
