I'm sure you are aware, the children have now been told that our performance this year is going to be Treasure Island.  All children have been given a song sheet and a preview of the song can be found on the website.

Some children have been given a speaking part, please support your child to help them learn their lines and to know when they need to speak in the play. e.g. who speaks before them, which scenes they are in, delivery of their lines (how it is spoken) etc.

More details about performance times and ticketing will follow after half term.
