Happy Friday everybody! There is an expectant hush over Key Stage 1 today as we have all but finished our rehearsals of our Christmas Production. The children have worked hard and done so well in learning their lines, the songs, the musical instruments and how to put a performance together. They are all very much looking forward to sharing this with you next week!
Christmas Events
All the children looked amazing in their Christmas Jumpers on Thursday and we have raised money that will continue to sponsor Khadiza and her local community in Bangladesh. Its amazing to think that from such a small act on our behalf, we can make such a big difference for the young people who live such a long way away but share our right to an education. Thank you all so much!
Just a quick word on how amazing all the children were on Tuesday this week at the Pantomime. They had a great time in the theatre and were a credit to Down Hall. Although it was a long journey home, their resilience and good spirits made us all even prouder of them! Well done, everybody!
Christmas Homework
As there have been so many events going on at the end of this week and next week, we will be collecting homework books and Guided Reading books in this Friday and will not be sending them back to you until the new year. We will continue to send home the colour reading books, however.
In January, we will also be sending home a Reading Comprehension homework books as well to practice this important reading skill.
If you have any questions, please come and see us. We look forward to seeing you next week for our production!
Best wishes
Mr Jude, Mrs Yuille, Mrs Holmes & Miss Smith
