Jessica's Senior Infants

Hi everyone,  Hope you had a lovely weekend! Lines and Parts The children have been given their parts for the play today, which means that their lines, the poem and the songs need to be learnt at home for homework. Their lines are highlighted on the script and the song lyrics are at the back also.  If you feel like your child is finding their lines a bit tricky, feel free to shorten it etc but just let me know.  Costumes  > Elves - If the elves could wear all green and black ( I am thinking elves like in the film Arthur Christmas)  that would be great, I will make badges for them. Also if they want they can wear elf hat or ears. ( If your child is not one of the characters below they are an elf :)) > We have a Santa and a Mrs Claus costume,  > We have a cat costume > for the dog I am thinking just face paint and black/white/brown - if anyone has ears that would be great, if not we can improvise.  > Mice - Would it be possible to wear all one colour, bro

He came into school in his uniform and told us all about what he does each day at work as a fireman, how his uniform protects him from the fire and water and what the fire station and fire brigade look like inside! The children learned a huge amount from his
