Christmas Trips - Don't Miss Out!

We have some fantastic weekend theatre trips planned for Christmas! Our next festive trips are:

- for KS1 and KS2 to see Cinderella: A Fairytale on Saturday 30th November at 3pm
- for Early Years and KS1  'Twas the Night Before Christmas on Saturday 14th December at 1.30pm 

at the fantastic Unicorn Theatre in London Bridge. Please see details of each below.

CINDERELLA: A FAIRYTALE




This twist on the classic tale was nominated for an Olivier Award in 2013. We have 80 tickets reserved, available on a first come first served basis. Please note ALL of Year 2 are already planning to go to this play as a Christmas class trip – only book for Y2 children if you want them to see it twice!

The play is aimed at children in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 (recommended ages six up). The ticket price (discounted for schools) is an incredible bargain at £7.50 (normal price £15-£22). 

The Unicorn has a number of special activities on Saturday 30th November from 12 noon in the foyer for children to take part in (a special Up! event). On Saturday afternoons these are usually free as part of Up! but this one on 30th November is a special event. Please add £1 per booking per child if you’d like us to reserve a place for you to this event

'TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS



This is an adaptation of Clement Clarke Moore’s much-loved ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas directed by Douglas Rintoul (1001 nights) and comes highly recommended. So much so – our date sold out in August! We have ONLY 30 tickets reserved, available on a first come first served basis. Please note ALL of Year 1 are already planning to go to this play as a Christmas class trip – only book for Y1 children if you want them to see it twice!

The play is aimed at children of Early Years and Key Stage 1 (recommended ages two-six). The ticket price (discounted for schools) is a bargain £7.50 (normal price £10-£16). There are free Up! activities in the foyer from 12 noon - booking not essential on this date. 

GENERAL INFORMATION
Please note that both adults and children do need to have a ticket. We would love as many children as possible to come and enjoy the show. If cost is an issue for you, please contact rosendaletheatreclub@gmail.com as we may be able to offer financial support. NB All such enquiries will be treated confidentially.

Siblings are welcome but please check with the theatre for minimum ages. Children attending the play must be accompanied by an adult with up to four children per adult. The accompanying adult is soley responsible for the safety and well being of the children under his/her care.

Our school will receive one group ticket so we all need to go in together. We plan to meet in the foyer at the Unicorn Theatre half an hour before the show start time – please make your own way there. Trains run frequently from Tulse Hill to London Bridge and take 20 minutes. Alternatively you can take the tube from Brixton. The Unicorn Theatre is approximately 15 minutes walk from London Bridge station.

Letters are going out in book bags this week. Completed forms and payment should be placed in a small envelope marked F/A LISA STATHAM (THEATRE CLUB – NAME OF SHOW) and left at the school office by no later than Friday 18th October.  Please note that the form must have an adult's contact details and payment before it can be accepted. Please make cheques payable to Rosendale Primary School.

Thank you!
