Dear
Parents,
On
Friday 17th 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 13th of August (Week 5 Term 3.) This allows the
students 3 weeks to prepare these. All costumes will be sent home again on Thursday 16th 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
