Family photo is possible for art tomorrow

We have started our Winter show this week. Each child has been assigned their part.
Parts are as follows;
Shoemaker and wife
Elves
Customers
Carol Singers-Christmas jumper and hat.
Stage hands- black clothes if possible
Narrators-Normal clothes- some have asked can they wear a xmas hat/jumper. That is perfect.

I don't expect costumes to be bought. If you are having difficulty getting a costume let me know. Some parents have offered to lend me elf costumes if anyone wants them.

The performance is on the 15th of December.
