Upcoming dates, costumes and other bits and pieces

 


Hello everyone,

I hope you are having a lovely weekend so far. I can't believe that the term has raced by and we only have two more weeks of term left. There is always lots to think about at this time of year so I will attempt to make a list below of upcoming events and what needs to be done. 

This week:

POW Passports - children are invited to bring their POW passports into school this week together with any evidence collected so far. 

From Sunday 3rd - 11th December
Year 4's artwork will be on display at Jubilee hall Poundbury. 

Monday 5th 
In the morning I will also be asking the children to choose what activities they are interested in for Christmas technology day. Each child will do three activities on Friday and whilst I can't guarantee that they will be able to do every activity I will try to make sure they get at least one of their preferences. If you wanted to give them a preview of the activities you can look at the choosing slip I will give them tomorrow here.  

From 5pm - 6pm there will be the musical showcase for children that have learnt to play piano and recorder this year. This will be in the school hall and the children should have been give ideas for the clothes they should be wearing. Children should arrive at 4.45pm. If you have any questions please contact the school office or Mrs McCourtie.

Tuesday 6th 
By Tuesday, the STEM figures that the children made last week should be on display at Brewery Square. They will be in a shop front next to the ice rink and under the screen. If you get the chance to go, I'm sure your child will be very excited to see their figure displayed.  

Wednesday 7th 
Please could you aim to bring the children's costumes in by Wednesday for the Christmas performance. If you are unsure of what your child should be wearing, please get in touch with the year 4 team. 

On Wednesday afternoon,  I will endeavour to do some auditions for the Macbeth performance next year. A few weeks ago I asked the children to give me their preferences of what roles they would like and how many lines they are happy to do. Where possible children have been given their first choice, however where more than one child has elected for the same first choice role I will need to do auditions. 

Thursday 8th 
There will be no swimming on Thursday. The children will be doing a special activity with their reception buddies today. Please see an email from Mr Spracklen for details.  

Friday 9th 
Christmas jumper day in aid of Save the Children. It is also Christmas technology day. 
After school on Friday it is the POWSA Christmas Fair in the school hall, library and reception classroom. 

Next Week:

Monday 12th 
Christmas performance dress rehearsal. 

Tuesday 13th
Christmas performance 1. Years 3 and 4 will perform at 11am. 

Wednesday 14th 
Christmas dinner day. Hot dinners should be ordered at least a week in advance. 

Whole school Carol Concert. Preschool and Reception children will act out the nativity and Year 4 will be narrators and do readings. If your child would like to be involved they will need to be available between 5pm - 6pm on Wednesday 14th. More details to follow soon.   

Thursday 15th 
Christmas performance 2 at 11am. It will be year 4's last swimming session on Thursday 15th. 

Friday 16th 
Last day of term. Christmas party day. No hot dinners on this day. Children should bring a packed lunch wrapped up as a present. 

As ever, if you have any questions, comments or suggestions please let me or Mr MacBean know.

Kind regards,
The year 4 team. 🎄
