We hope you have all had a lovely break from school but we are looking forward to welcoming you back tomorrow. This week we our outdoor learning will take place in the playground, don’t forget to wrap up warm! Homework for the next three weeks is now available.

The wait is over! We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow afternoon. Please remember to bring any extra costume clothing in the morning. The children have all worked so hard and we would like to thank families for helping to learn songs, lines and dances!

We made it to the stage today and it was a great success, but we still have lots of work to do.

For children who have lines can we please ask that they practise as much as they can and bring words to school every day.

Our dress rehearsal will be Thursday 14th December with a performance to families on Monday 18th December. We have costumes for every child but for the following cast members we need extra clothing underneath.

Sheep – Black trousers/leggings and black top, preferably long sleeve.

Cows/Oxen – Black trousers/leggings and black top, preferably long sleeve.

Donkeys – Black trousers/leggings and black top, preferably long sleeve.

Chickens– red t-shirt and red shorts/tights. We can source these items if you do not have at home.

Stars – White t-shirt and tights. We do have extra tights in school if you do not have any at home.

Angels – White t-shirt and tights. We do have extra tights in school if you do not have any at home.

All other cast members have full costume but may wish to wear a t-shirt and trousers/leggings underneath as it can be warm on the stage.

Thank you as always for your support,   P2 teachers.

On Wednesday we are going to the Into Film Festival to see Lyle Lyle Crocodile. Please arrive at school on time as the bus will leave at 9.15 am. Pupils should wear full uniform and are welcome to bring a snack to enjoy!

We will also be starting to learn new songs for our nativity performance.

Outdoor Learning

This week P2C (Mrs Carten) will need wellies as we are going to build dens in the woods. All other classes will be staying in the school grounds. Please wrap up warm it’s getting rather chilly outside.

OUTDOOR LEARNING UPDATE

P2CN will need outdoor shoes as they will be heading to the woods to build dens.

All other classes will remain in the playground so there is no need for wellies but a warm jacket, hat and gloves are recommended.

This week we are staying within the school grounds. Pupils will not need wellington boots but will need a warm jacket.

We are leaving the playground! This week we are planning a trip to THE FOXES (wooded area at the back of the school) to search for signs of Autumn. This will be a muddy outing so please send children to school with a warm jacket, change of shoes and some extra socks. Wellington boots would be great but if you don’t have any let us know in advance and we will aim to provide them.

The children have loved outdoor learning the last 3 weeks and it has been great getting to know all the P2 classes. We really need all photo consents, if you haven’t already filled this in please do, then we can share our learning with you.

Finally can we ask you to share this info with other P2 families, we know not everyone reads our blog and we don’t want soggy children!

Thank you,    P2 teachers.
