Spaghetti Activity

Concert

I just want to remind you that children have to wear blue jeans and a white polo neck for the concert on Monday. White trainers should also be worn.

Girls hair should be down as their will be wearing a headband and this will be easier to stay on. If you could send two hair pins for their hair that would be great.

Please remember to come early as traffic does get a little congested outside school especially since the Grade one concert is at 9am and therefore there is more than one concert on the day.

After the concert please come to class to do an activity with the children. They may then come home with you if you like, just let me know when you are taking them.

Thanks and see you Monday.

Playing Hairdressers

The children had a great time playing with the new Hairdresser set that we got at school.

Christmas Songs for Concert

The children are learning the following songs for the Christmas concert.

The concert will be a short presentation and then you will all be invited into class to do a craft with your child.
Here you will get the opportunity to view all your child's Christmas work too:)

The children will be dresses up as STARS for the presentation. They will need to wear blue jeans and the white school polo neck. Ms Maria and I will make the star part of the costume ourselves.

Thanks
Ms Rachel
