Costumes for Year 6 production will be provided in school. Members of staff have been working hard to gather and source various outfits, props and accessories required for the ‘Bugsy Malone’ production.
If you do have anything at home you feel would help with production and would be happy for it to be used please contact one of the Year 6 teachers.
We are very grateful for any help, so all welcome. It is not an expectation for any families to go out and buy costumes. Unless you have been contacted separately regarding outfits, all costumes are being provided/ worked on in school.
Some of the children will be primarily working on costume design as part of their learning contracts so we are excited to include their contributions and learning within the production.
Even though it has been a short week in school, Year 6 have been working tirelessly towards production. Children have been rehearsing lines, perfecting pitch and volume for songs, learning dance moves, sewing and stitching costumes, putting together trailers, creating programmes, decorating the hall and designing props. That is just to name a few, the children have put in an incredible effort on and off stage and are very excited to perform next week.

Year 6 will be getting ready for their dress rehearsal to the school next week as well as to the parents on Wednesday evening. We can’t wait to see the children in character in costume next week.
We are sure lots of you have already decided what you are wearing to graduation on Thursday. If not, there is still time – don’t forget to hand in your cheque for the lunch. We look forward to celebrating your end of primary school journey with you.
For the remainder of the year, all Maths lessons will be held in the children’s usual classes. Most of the maths that will be taking place will all be revision. Some stand-alone units will be taking place outside of Production time and these topics include finishing off our fractions and decimals unit, probability, location, angles and time.
