Our year 6 production of Pirates of Penzance will be held at The Mosslands School tomorrow, Thursday 12th July.
If your child has a part in the production we will be walking them down to Mosslands for rehearsals after their lunch and will supervise them until the performance time of 6pm.
We will provide the children with some refreshments throughout the afternoon, but we do ask that you send them to school with something for them to eat later on.
We hope that you will be attending the performance (tickets still available from the office), but if you are unable to, we are expecting to finish around 7:30pm.
Children must be collected from The Mosslands School: we will not be allowing any child to walk home unsupervised.
Please let Dragon Club know if you wish to cancel your place if your child is booked in for Thursday.
Children who are not taking part in the performance can be collected from school as normal.
