Hello everyone,
I hope you had an enjoyable holiday. The children have had a great start to the new term and new year. They have been given their lines for Act 1 of our performance of Macbeth and I was very impressed by their initial read throughs and improvisations.
Next week we will focus on Act 1, then we will start rehearsing Act 2 the week after. In addition to any additional home learning tasks it would be very helpful if you could work with your child at home to help them learn their lines.
You will have received an email regarding our trip to Weymouth this Monday. This visit is very useful in preparing the children for their performance and it helps them gain an understanding of what the theatre looks like and where they will get changed. We need your permission to take your child to Weymouth on the 9th January and 8th February. Please provide this permission vis PAY360.
This week's home learning
For this week's home learning the children have been asked to research interesting facts about William Shakespeare. Over the next week they will be writing biographies on Shakespeare.
The children have also been given a sheet with some maths questions and they are also strongly encouraged to practice their lines.
The year 4 Parent Information session will be on Monday 16th January at 9am where I will give you more information about the Macbeth performance and upcoming dates and information.
In the meantime, if you have any questions please get in touch with myself, Mr MacBean or a member of the year 4 team.
Kind regards,
Ms Browne, Mr MacBean, Mrs Bernard, Mrs Scott, Miss Street, Mrs McConnell and Mrs Thomas.
