Christmas Play - Costume

This year we will be performing Snow White and The Seven Jockeys as our Christmas production.  Each child has been given the words of the songs, of course we will be practicing these in school, but the children are also keen to take the words home to learn. 

In addition to this please can we ask you to help us ensure each child has a costume to wear?  We would need these to be in school no later than Wednesday 12^th December.  Listed below are the roles and some ideas about what your child will need.

The King  - Smart clothes with a sash.  We have a crown and cloak in school.

The Queen – Best dress.  We have a crown and cloak in school.

Palace Attendants – White shirt and dark trousers.  A red sash and sword if possible.

Prospective Queens – Best dresses or a pretty sari.  We will be making masks for the masquerade ball.

Snow-White – A knee length dress or skirt and blouse and an apron.

Mirror – A t-shirt and leggings (light coloured if possible) to wear under the mirror costume we have in school.

Huntsman – Trousers and jacket in brown or green with a country style hat if possible.  A toy or home made dagger for his belt. (Think Ray Mears)

Trees – Costumes in shades of green and brown.  T-shirt and leggings, or leotards are most suitable to allow movement.  You could attach paper leaves.

Jockeys (Seven dwarfs) – Colourful T-shirt with leggings, jodhpurs or tight fitting trousers.  Boots and a riding hat if possible.  We have tunics at school for the Jockeys to wear over the top.

Other Jockeys – Colourful T-shirt with leggings, jodhpurs or tight fitting trousers.  Boots and a riding hat if possible.  Any hobby horses gratefully received.

Race Track Commentators / Bookies – Shirt and fancy tie or a jacket.  Maybe a trilby hat.

Race Goers – Smart clothes with something to wave during the races:  A hat, umbrella or handkerchief.

If you have any problems finding a costume, please let us know as we may be able to borrow something or find something suitable in school. 

Many thanks for your help.

Nice to be back!

I’ve had a lovely first week back after my maternity leave. The children have actually remembered me (!?) and I’ve enjoyed visiting all classes, getting to know children who have since joined the school.

 

Up to Christmas you will see me in school everyday (apart from Tuesday) and I will be working with all classes getting ready for The Prince of Wales School two Christmas performances!

We are also holding Christmas Carols in the School Hall on Thursday 20^th December at 3pm, all are welcome. If you do play a musical instrument please bring along and join the parent/ staff group for the occasion!

My office is in the foyer so if you do wish to come and see me, please do!

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

We have sent the children home with information about the costumes they will be needing for the Christmas production of Roald Dahl's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". We hope that you will be able to help us by providing simple costumes. If you have any difficulty with this please let us know.

Could the children please bring their costumes to school at the end of next week in a named plastic bag.

Thank you,

DM

Home Learning - Snow White Words

We have given the children a copy of the words they will be learning for their Christmas Production of Roald Dahl's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". We would like them to have a go at reading through the words to help them to become more familiar with them.

Plea to parents!

A plea to parents!

 

 

On Thursday 20^th December at 3pm in the school hall the children invite you to join us to celebrate Christmas and sing carols. Last year it was very successful, particularly as the music was performed by our talented parents!

A couple of parents have offered their musical skills so far for this year; we have a pianist and a recorder player but would LOVE to have more parents playing. PLEASE share your skills and let Mrs Mewett know if you can come and play.

 

Thank you!

Angles in Maths next week

Next week we will be doing work about angles and shapes.

Many thanks to the Dorset Fire and Rescue Service for their visit today.
The children in Year 3 had a very interesting time learning about fire safety in the home.
This would be a good thing to have a chat about together.
