Rehearsals are well underway for our upcoming Christmas show. We would appreciate it if you could please look out the following items to wear during our performances.

• Christmas T-shirt/jumper
• Black trousers/leggings/skirt
• Santa hat or reindeer antlers

If you do not have a Christmas jumper, then a red or green T-shirt will also be fine.

Please label all items of clothing and put inside a carrier bag with your name clearly written on it. This bag can stay in school for the week of our performances and can be brought in whenever you have it ready. Bags should be in school ready for Monday 9th December at the latest.

Thanks

As an additional piece of homework, your task is to research the types of weaponry or armour used in the Scottish Wars of Independence. Once you have researched these, you should make your own weapon from materials you have at home.
