LION KING TICKETS & COSTUMES

2016-05-20-01-56-05-LionKingJr

Hello lovely parents and pupils of year 6!

We are sooo excited for our production of ‘The Lion King Junior’ on Monday 18th July at 1.30pm and 6.00pm.

Tickets

Tickets will be up for grabs soon via the school office. They will be free but you will need to collect them as we will need to keep a tally of how many we have sold. Space in the evening will not be an issue as the venue can hold 700. However, during the day, we will be limited to 300 tickets for parents.

There is no charge for tickets but we would ask for a donation at the end of the show. Any funds raised will help to cover the costs of hiring the venue, costumes, performance rights etc. Any extra we make, we will be donating to a charity of the children’s choice (to be decided in the coming weeks).

Costumes

We will be providing materials for masks, extra detail on costumes e.g. felt and other materials

All that we ask is if you could supply your children with a suitable ‘base colour’ for their part – long sleeved (if possible) t-shirt and leggings/trousers/joggers.

e.g.

Giraffe – yellow

Hyena – grey or black

Elephant – grey

Lion – yellow/light brown

etc

Any questions, please send in with your children. Can all costumes please come in NAMED plastic bags which the children can hang on their pegs.

We thank you in advance for all of your help and support with costumes and fund raising. It is looking fab – we suggest you all bring tissues for the performance!!

Thank you again,

The Year 6 team

Maths – 4 operation madness– Please create an A4 size vocabulary and method page – more detailed than a poster please – use what you have learnt already for multiplication, division, addition and subtraction and add to it during the week as we learn about using them in word problems. You could add questions for other children to answer as well as examples of all the methods we use in year 6. I am sure Mrs Bowen would love to see them! Think about our working wall to help you – BIDMAS might also be handy!
