Do you want to develop your singing voice?

Voice lessons will be available at Downs Junior School after half term, taught by Eva Rustige. The lessons will occur on Monday mornings 09:00 - 11:30 in the canteen and will be taught in small groups. Eva will deliver an assembly to the children on Thursday 8th November and lessons will commence on Monday 12th November. Eva's contact details can be found on the Private Lessons page.

Maybe you will be the next Adele or Emeli Sande?

Thank you very much to the parents and children who attended the Kesho Amahoro meeting today. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, suggestions or useful contacts regarding any element of this project.

If you missed this meeting, don't worry. The Kesho Amahoro page will be updated regularly with any developments.

After half term, an important letter will be sent home (this will also be available to download on the Kesho Amahoro page) regarding commitment to the project and an opportunity for parents to list the ways in which they would be able to assist.

Missing Violin

22/10/2012

ATTENTION VIOLINISTS: A violin has gone missing. It belongs to Kitty in Year 5 and she hasn't seen her violin for a few weeks. We think that someone may have mistaken her violin for their own. It is in a purple and blue case. Please check that you haven't taken Kitty's violin home by accident. If found, please return it to Miss Rusbatch. Thank you.

Rusalka

Year 4 experienced the thrills of Dvorak's 'Rusalka' at Glyndebourne Opera House today. The costumes, sets, music and drama were outstanding and the children's standing ovation, whooping, cheering and clapping at the end spoke volumes. Their behaviour was exemplary and I am looking forward to hearing their reviews. Visit the Rusalka page for more details.
