Dear Parent/Carer,
School Choir
The choir took part in a large scale production at the Colston Hall last week, called ‘Everyman’s Land’. Their singing was fantastic, the dancers were beautiful and confident and the behaviour of the whole choir was exemplary. Well done every single child. A big thank you to all the parents who helped, transported children, brought tickets and generally supported us in our endeavour. There will be video clips on the school blog, for you to look at. A certificate of participation has been sent to the school and a copy of it will also shortly be on the blog. Finally Kate Courage has sent a copy of the programme to each choir member to congratulate them and for them to keep as a souvenir. Choir resumes on week two of next term – 3.30-4.30pm
Sing Up
As you know we are striving to become a Silver Award Singing School. All the children are doing really well and are singing beautifully and enthusiastically. Over Christmas you might like to visit the SingUp website with your children (it’s free!). They have SingUp.org.uk/Families/Festive Pack/Download. There are also lots of seasonal songs to both listen to and sing along with, and they can be found at SingUp.Org.uk/search song bank/seasonal songs. ‘Keeeeep singing!’
‘In the beginning’ Sex and Relationship Education scheme of work
Thank you to all the parents, staff and governors who attended this weeks meeting to introduce this scheme to the school.
If you were unable to come to the meeting, but would like to look at the scheme before it is adopted by the school, please ask at the school office.
