Important Dates:
Primary 2 are really getting into the spirit of Christmas! We have loved watching Home Alone 2 (P7) and singing along with the Carol Concert (P3). This week it is our turn, we look forward to welcoming you all on Thursday.
A huge well done to those who already know all their lines, keep rehearsing at home. Narrators will have access to a script if needed and teachers will be at the side of the stage to help.
On Tuesday we plan to have a dress rehearsal. If possible can all animals wear black trousers/leggings and a black long sleeved top and angels/stars wear white. All other characters can wear uniform under costumes or t-shirts/leggings/joggers if they find it more comfortable. Please label all items.
