Upper KS2 Production - Thursday 24 June & Friday 25 June 2021
Dear Parents
It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce that the Junior 5 and Junior 6 pupils will be involved in the Summer Production. This year, due to Covid, we are unable to perform at the Leamington Spa Centre and will stage an Upper Key Stage 2 performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at School.
The Junior 6 pupils, as always, will be taking on the roles of the principle characters and will be assisted by the Junior 5 pupils forming the chorus. Due to bubble restrictions the Junior 5 pupils will be unable to share the stage with Junior 6 and will therefore be lining the side of the hall to stay within the guidelines of government safety precautions.
There will be three showings of the play with limited audience spaces for Junior 6 parents only. The show will be recorded and all parents and the wider school community will be able to purchase a download of the recording.
The dates and times for the show are as follow:
Thursday 24 June 4:30 – 5:45pm
Friday 25 June 4:30 – 5:45pm and 6:30 – 7:45pm
We ask that all children attend the event, but if you have a previous engagement that you are unable to rearrange, please do let me know.
An afternoon tea (a hot dog and a cookie) will be provided for all the Junior 5 and Junior 6 children after school, before the first show on both days, and a small snack (fruit, a chocolate bar and a drink) before the second show on the Friday (An Evolve consent email has been sent to you to complete).
We ask that Junior 5 pupils wear their school shoes, black trousers or leggings and a brightly coloured, plain t-shirt with no logo or writing. These items need to be in school in a named carrier bag by Wednesday 9 June and kept in the classroom. Junior 6 children will receive a separate costume letter.
Family members of Junior 6 pupils who are attending the play, are asked not to arrive before 4:10pm for the early performance, to allow our carline to finish and for the lower car park to clear. Please do not arrive before 6:10pm for the later performance on the Friday, in order to allow parents to leave the lower car park.
A booking link for tickets will be sent out closer to the date.
Please note times below for collecting your child after the performance has finished.
Thursday 24 June:
Junior 5 carline at 5:45pm – 6:00pm
Junior 6 carline at 6:00pm – 6:15pm
Friday 25 June:
Junior 5 carline at 7:45pm – 8:00pm
Junior 6 carline at 8:00pm – 8:15pm
We would ask if you are collecting children from both Junior 5 and Junior 6, that you arrive at the Junior 6 carline time. Please be considerate to our neighbours at collection and when leaving the performance.
Kind regards
Nicola Wildey
Drama Teacher
