P4 - Wed 8 Jan 2014

HAPPY NEW YEAR Primary 4

Welcome back - we hope you had a great holiday and are refreshed, ready to take on the challenges we have planned for 2014.

We have been really pleased by the excellent work you have completed over the holiday period. You have discovered some wonderful examples of Roman columns which can be found in Edinburgh.

We plan to share your work with the rest of the school during our assembly next week.

Assembly

Homework over the next two weeks will be rather unusual as Primary 4 have responsibility for the assembly on the 24th January so all focus must be on ensuring that we are fully prepared.

Your task is to read the assembly script and prepare yourself for the part you have been given. Remember to add expression and a loud voice.

 Your target is to

•  know the script by heart and

• know the songs - this task is particularly important for those who have been allocated small / non speaking parts.

There are 2 songs to learn

'Just like a Roman' which can be found by Clicking here. The lyrics are also available here.

'Hadrian's Wall' - which can be found bu Clicking here. The lyrics are also available here.

Costumes for Assembly

To help the children 'get into role' we would like them to source their own costume for the assembly - this will help make it a truly memorable experience.

All the children have been allocated a part and so a costume appropriate to that role is required.
Please make use of material / items / clothes you already have - similar to the approach used for the wonderful costumes previously created for the toys which were 'dressed like a roman' last term. (We would prefer that clothes etc are recycled rather than purchasing something for the assembly). For many a simple toga tied on with a belt should be suffice.

If you have any items which may be helpful for others to use then please bring them into school.
