Hello all, I hope you've had a super weekend and are ready for yet another quiet week at #TheGreatestSchoolOnEarth. We have lots of very exciting things happening this week and I wanted to clarify what is needed for each.
Tomorrow we have the amazing Treehouse theatre visiting us to perform 'The Elves and the Shoemaker'. We are encouraging children to dress as elves. This does not mean you have to go out and buy an outfit. A christmas hat, green or red clothes and stripy socks would be perfect. You do not have to send your child in dressed up if you do not want to. I also want to let you know that this performance will be completely covid-secure and we are following all the necessary restrictions. This promises to be an enjoyable performance for all.
On Tuesday we have 'Books at Bedtime' this will be 5pm-6pm. We encourage children to come in their pjs with a teddy if they want to. There will also be hot chocolate on offer and maybe a treat or two. If your child attends after school club we are more than happy to keep the children at school. All I would ask is that you maybe send in some extra food for them to have in this time before going into the hall at 5pm.
On Wednesday we are off to the local care home Cheriton - which is our first secret mission. As stated in the letter this is also covid-secure and there will be no contact between us and them. We will be walking from school at 1:45pm and we will be back in time for pick up at 3:15pm. Children are asked to wear their usual school uniform and are also welcome to bring a festive accessory such as festive headgear (reindeer antlers, christmas hats or tinsel).
On Thursday we have our second secret mission which includes a zoom call with the childrens relatives. The filming will involve listening to the children sing live and responding with their thoughts. We plan to do this zoom call at 11:00am sharp. The details of the zoom have already been shared with you. All we ask from the relatives is to listen to the children singing and add some comments if they wish to. No questions will be asked to the relatives, however, it would be lovely if they could add some comments about the singing - such as 'wow what beautiful singing'.
These secret missions will be broadcasted on the schools social media streams.
On Friday we have christmas jumper day!! Children will be encouraged to wear a christmas jumper into school.
If you do not want the children to take part in these activities please let a member of the Year One team know ASAP.
Also, if you could practice these two songs at home, this would be AMAZING!
