As the big show day approaches, children are getting nervously excited. I was delighted to hear so many have learned their lines and are word perfect. It was a pleasure listening to them during our rehearsal today.
Costumes
Tomorrow (Tuesday 30th) is our one and only dress rehearsal. Could I remind parents that boys should bring (or wear) a shirt and tie and girls a nice top or blouse. As newsreaders, they should be formally dressed so if dads or grandpas could lend boys a tie if they don’t have a school tie, that would be great.
We now look forward to seeing as many parents as possible at the show on Wednesday.
We have started our new maths topic with Mrs Newall. We are learning about compass points, angles and giving commands using directions. Let’s hope we don’t get lost!
As parents/carers of P5E will know the class are performing short sketches relating to the changes in technology during the 2000s. In terms of costumes most pupils are playing children and therefore do not need anything special. However, I have posted some pictures of so called noughties clothing ‘trends’ so if you are able to provide these clothes or something similar that would be great. Anything you send in should be labelled with your child’s name and class.
Velour tracksuits! Sunglasses with colour lenses.
Flairs!
Combat/cargo trousers, vest tops and ties (sometimes used around the waist like a belt too!)
Double denim
Baker Boy hats!
Large belts.
Hoodies and longish trousers.
Shirts over t-shirts.
And even more denim!
For girls peddle pushers were quite popular and rolled up jeans would achieve this look.
One of our pupils will require a black turtle neck or black jumper with a high collar(the character will be revealed in the show). If anyone has one they could lend us that would be great.
Thank you! 🙂
Today children were very lucky to meet baby Rosie McLeod who is only 8 weeks old. Rosie’s mum brought her in to see us all as her dad was busy teaching his P5 class.
We are learning about parenting and looking after children and we learned that babies need fed every few hours, they are very fragile, they are hard work, messy, you lose sleep, you need a bus or van to carry all their stuff – if you are lucky enough to get out the door – mind reading skills are handy so you know why the baby is crying, you need lots of patience but most of all, babies are adorable. 
We would appreaciate it if your child could bring in the following items to wear during our performance in the school show. We do not want anyone to buy anything new so please let us know if you do not have the suggested items and we can find an alternative.
Lady Gaga group – black or metallic clothes
Black eyed peas group – all black clothes
ABBA group – Boys – black bottoms and white top. Girls – something sparkly.
Thank you for your continued support. We can’t wait for our performance!
This should make for interesting discussion…
‘Relationships’ is our new topic this term, and to start us off, this afternoon we discussed ‘What is a parent?’ and ‘What qualities and skills are required to be a good parent?’
