Country dancing information
This year's annual dance festival is fast approaching and the children are working really hard to prepare. It will be held at Tredegar House, Newport on Saturday 28th June from 9.30am to 12.30. Letters have gone home with a slip for you to fill in asking if your child is able to attend. Please could you return these ASAP to Mrs Abel. Please note there will be country dancing club every Thursday after half term until the festival.
We have also been asked to perform for approximately 15 minutes from 11.30am at our school fete on Saturday 21st June - again I will need to know who can attend. Letters will be sent out regarding this after the half term break.
Many thanks
Mrs Abel
