Letter sent previously:
Dear Parents and Carers,
The Year 4 choir have been practising incredibly hard for their upcoming performance at Gotta Sing, Redditch Palace Theatre on Wednesday 15th June.
On the day, the children will remain in school. We will be travelling by coach to the Redditch Palace Theatre, ready for a rehearsal at 5pm before the show starts at 7pm. Your child will need to have full school uniform with them for the day and needs to bring a packed dinner to eat at the venue.
If your child is attending Parkside Middle School for a transition afternoon on Wednesday 15th, they need to return to school for 4pm in their full school uniform.
Families are warmly welcomed to attend the show at 7pm as an audience member, and tickets must be purchased through https://www.redditchpalacetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/shows/ – school is unable to book tickets for you.
The show will finish at around 9:30pm. You can choose to collect your child from the venue directly after the show, or from school at 10:15pm.
To cover the coach costs, we are asking for £8.60 per child which can be paid on sQuid.
The event will be recorded, however will not be made public. We have requested for a password to be placed on our video and this will be shared with you after the event.

If you have any questions, please speak to Mrs Richardson. Thank you for your continued support,
The Year 4 Team
