Young Voices Update

The choir have been practising hard this week and are sounding splendid!

Your child has been given a letter with all the information about the performance on the 22nd, including what they should bring on the day – please remember that they can wear either an official Young Voices T-shirt or a plain white one, and that they will not be able to take backpacks or large bags into the Arena.

The children will need two separate packed meals.  We will have our first picnic for lunch on the coach before we enter the venue.  Please make sure that your child has a separate packed tea in a carrier bag – this will be the only thing they will take in to the Arena as we will be leaving all other bags on the coach.  They should bring three drinks of juice or water – no glass bottles or cans, please.  It is also important that they know which meal is which!

On Wednesday next week we will be having our last rehearsal before the big day.  This will finish at 4:30 and we would like to invite parents and carers who would like to hear a ‘sneak preview’ of some of the songs we will be singing to join us at 4pm.

Remember to keep practising and learn those words!  You can find the lyrics as well as lyric and dance videos to help with this in the Young Voices Children’s Music Room.  If you can’t remember the password you can ask Miss Teale, Mrs Spain, Miss Chandler or another member of the choir to remind you!

Robinwood Information and Form

If your child is going on the Robinwood trip, they have been given a copy of the ‘Personal Information Form’ and the Robinwood kit list.

Please could you complete and return the form as soon as possible and read the information about what to pack – especially the bit about naming all your child’s clothes!  The final payment was due at the beginning of this week so if you have not yet made this please do so as soon as possible, preferably via ParentPay.  

Not long to wait now!

 

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the Fishergate family.

Chanukah!

On Thursday 13th December Ben Rich and Rachael Reeves (parents of Aaron in Year 5) came into school to explore the Jewish festival of Chanukah with Key Stage One.

The children learnt the story of Chanukah, the symbolism of lighting candles and even got to eat donuts!

Thank you Ben and Rachael for coming to see us!
