Dear Parent/Carers
Children in years 2, 3, 4 and 6 will be having singalong carol sessions outside in the playground on the following dates. They will take place at 3.10pm before collection time. This will not be a ticketed event as it is outside. Carol sheets will be given out to parents so you can sing along too. Please note that these events are weather dependent.
- Year 2 - Friday 5th December
- Year 3 - Monday 8th December
- Year 4 - Tuesday 9th December
- Year 6 - Thursday 11th December
The children can bring in Christmas jumpers to wear for the singing, as well as hats, scarves and gloves to keep warm. Children should come to school in uniform as usual in morning please.
On arrival at the event, please enter school via the pedestrian gates. Gates will open at 2.45pm and the singalong will start at 3.10pm. The classes will be standing in particular spots - we will provide details nearer the time so you will know where to stand for the best view of your child's class.
The children will be returning to their classrooms after the performances - please pick up from the classroom doors. Photos can be taken of your own child after the event; please do not take photos or videos during the singing. For more information on this, please click here.
We are very grateful to the Friends of Parkside PTA who will be offering drinks and refreshments, so please bring cash if you would like to purchase.
Please note that in recent years we started limit the number of full Christmas productions so that we can spread out the impact on the school and the children's learning. Now that our school has grown so large, we would need to have so many performances to accommodate everyone that it would significantly disrupt the curriculum - for example, delivering PE sessions in the halls.
Please note that all of these year groups will be putting on productions for parents later in the school year.
We look forward to seeing you at the 'Carols at Collection' (and hope you will join in with the singing too!)
Kind regards,
Miss S O'Brien, Headteacher
