We have been very busy for the last few weeks working on our Christmas play, 'Heavenly News.'  The children are all extremely talented.  The acting ability is outstanding.  The children really become their characters speaking clearly with fantastic expression in their voices and faces.  The dancers have worked really hard to perfect their moves.  The singing is beautiful and all the children have obviously worked hard learning all the song words and scripts. All this hard work will all be worth it next week for the performances.  Thank you for your support and for providing the costumes for your children.  We will have our dress rehearsal on Monday afternoon and then the performances will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and on Thursday evening at 6:30pm.  I'm sure you will enjoy the show and be amazed at what the children have achieved.  It would be wonderful if you could write a comment on the blog to share your thoughts on the play.  On Friday the children took part in a Viking day where they heard Viking tales, they looked at Viking life and traditional Viking clothes. They all took part in a Viking battle using  shields and javelins (made of foam;don't worry!) The children will write a recount about their experiences next week.
The children will continue to work on My maths, reading and spellings for homework.  They can begin to research World War Two and produce a project over the Christmas holidays to present to their class when we begin the Spring term. This can be in a variety of forms such as a poster, a model, a PowerPoint, writing or pictures.
