Assembly

Dear Parents,

On Friday 17^th of August (Week 5 Term 3) the students from Room 13 and Room 28 will be hosting and performing at the Senior Assembly.

In preparation for this, many of the students have been allocated a role and as such they will need to learn their speaking parts. These speaking parts will be sent home in the coming days on laminated cards. Please support your child in learning their speaking parts to ensure volume, confidence and fluency on the day. There are also a few songs we will be learning at school. These are “Rip Rip Woodchip – John Williamson” and “Heal The World – Michael Jackson.” The links and lyrics for these can be found on our classroom blogs.

The theme for our performance is “Heal the World” with a focus on environmental concerns such as excessive landfill, pollution and deforestation. We will be exploring these issues and what can be done to “make a difference.” As part of this, the students will be challenged to plan, design and make their own costumes at home, with a focus on using recycled materials. The plan and design phase has been completed on the back of this page, and there is a range of ideas and photographs which can be used for inspiration on our classroom blogs.

Please be mindful that the children will be dancing and acting, so the costumes will need to be comfortable and appropriate for movement. These costumes will need to be completed and brought to school for rehearsal by Monday 13^th of August (Week 5 Term 3.) This allows the students 3 weeks to prepare these. All costumes will be sent home again on Thursday 16^th August so that the children are able to get dressed in their costumes at home on the morning of the assembly.

If you are having any difficulty with organising your child’s costume, please contact your child’s classroom teacher as soon as possible, so that arrangements can be made. Please note that those students allocated a lead role will be spoken to individually regarding costuming.

We thank you for your support and look forward to seeing you all there in the audience.

Kind Regards

Gemma Lockyer & Emma Ahearn
