Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies Christmas Concert.
We have had another successful week of rehearsals for our Christmas Play ‘Robin and the
Sherwood Hoodies’. For the first time the children have had the opportunity to perform on
the stage itself! The children have worked tirelessly hard and we would again like to thank
everyone, for their effort and enthusiasm! Next week we will focus on all of the scenes ,
imposing a no script policy to ensure children can focus on stage directions, volume and
transitions. Finally you should by now have received a costume letter, outlining what your
child needs to wear. If you have yet to receive this letter please contact your child’s class
teacher who can advise you accordingly. In advance, many thanks for your help with the
costumes, we are very much appreciative of your support.
