K2 News - Friday 13 March

Congratulations

On Wednesday 11 March, we had our second Performers' Assembly in the Infants. The children watched a variety of performers from K1, K2 and G1. Congratulations to Roan Dagur from K2SMH and Rustam Halpert from K2ZBr who performed, and delighted the audience, on the big stage in the RBT.

Arts Festival 

Wednesday 25 March 6:00pm in the RBT

We only have eight more school days until the Arts Festival and the children are so excited about performing for you!

This year’s show, ‘Once Upon a Time’, has been produced with as much involvement from the children as possible. This began weeks ago with a class ‘brainstorm’ of what was needed to put on a show. The children’s ideas were fantastic: an introduction, actors, costumes, posters, props, invitations, lights, music, microphones, a stage, tickets and rehearsals.

Under our guidance and supervision, and with a sharing of ideas, the children have sent home invitations, made tickets, helped to paint props, developed actions and movements, given ideas for words of songs, recorded songs, and worked together brilliantly in rehearsals. We are so proud of their efforts in learning their parts, from the movements and positioning on stage, to the acting, speaking and singing.

We would love to have all the children in school next week in order for them to feel comfortable and confident with their roles.

Technical rehearsals will take place on Monday 23 March. The Dress Rehearsal will be on Tuesday 24 March in front of a full audience. It is a very exciting couple of days for the children as it is the first time they get to see what the other classes are doing and how the whole show fits together, with sound and lights.

The running order will be as follows:

K2HWe
The Little Red Hen

K2ZBr
The Pied Piper

K2JiS
Hansel and Gretel

K2SMH
Little Red Riding Hood

We realise many of you will be coming directly from work for the performance on Wednesday, but please could you make every effort to arrive early, so that the children can begin the show with everyone in their seats. We will need the RBT foyer clear before the show can begin, so please take your seats in good time.

We hope you all enjoy the show!

IMPORTANT: 

Early Pick Up on Wednesday 25 March

On Wednesday 25 March, the day of the Arts Festival performance, we request that all K2 children are collected from school at 12:15pm. This will enable them to have a quiet afternoon and time to rest before returning to school to prepare for the show.

The buses will not be in operation for this earlier pick up, so you will need to come to school to collect your child from the Infant car pick up zone. Please do not come up to the classrooms, as this will impact on the K1 and Grade 1 classes.

Unless you hear differently from your child’s teacher, the children need to be brought back to school, and dropped off in their classroom at 5:15pm in order for them to change into their costumes and get ready.

Library Books and Reading Books

The children will take library books and three 'just right' books home, as usual, over the break.

Goodbyes

It is always a sad time when we need to say goodbye to friends who are leaving Singapore to start a new chapter in their lives somewhere else. This term we are saying goodbye to Olivia Georgiou from K2SMH who is relocating to London. Olivia, we hope that you will be very happy in your new school and settle in really quickly with your new friends.

Last Day of Term

School will finish on Friday 27 March at 2:00pm and reopens on Monday 13 April at 8:00am.
