Year 1-3 School Production - The Day the Crayons Quit

Hi Everyone,

Year 1-3 Production

At the beginning of May I posted a list of things that we needed for our item for the Year 1-3 production.  Special thanks for the boxes and silver items that have been sent to school.

It is now time to send in clothing for costumes.

Things you will need for the production 
We would prefer silver but can dress up a grey clothing with silver items
You will need...
A silver/grey plain top (or be able to turn inside out to hide picture/words)
A silver or grey pair of pants 
or 
silver/grey skirt and top or dress    (and leggings)

If your child is unable to be face painted for any reason for shows please contact me asap.

The following children do not need grey or silver costumes as they are involved in different items.

Owen - (Duncan) speaking part
Ella-Mae (Narrator) speaking part
Koji Silver crayon
(Other children with speaking parts are going to participate in our class item as well so need grey/silver costume)
Kapa haka - Koby, Todd, Keerat, Te Awhi - will have school kapa haka clothes

Information about ticket sales will be in the school newsletter and notices will be sent home.  Tickets will be limited.  
We are asking all audience members to wear black and or white clothing. This will support audience participation and help make a BIG impact based on colour.  

Please send costumes to school asap as we need them by Monday 19th June.  
Please ensure that costume clothing is well named and on a coat hanger or in a clearly named bags.

If you are able to help dress and organise children and help with face painting on the days/evenings of the shows, contact me via email.

School day  - Monday 26th  June from 11.45
School day - Wednesday 28th June  from 11.45

Evening - Tuesday 27th June from 5.20pm
Evening Thursday 29th June  from 5.20pm

We ask that children are handed to the teacher at 5.30pm for the evening performances to allow time to settle and prepare for the shows.

After the evening performances, children will return to their dressing room. Parents can collect children from this room (Room 15 TBC).  For safety reasons teachers will release children in small groups.  

If there is any reason that your child can not attend a performance please contact me asap so changes can be made.

Thank you for your support.  We are looking forward to presenting a fantastic performance for our audience.
