Eagle (Year 6)

Hi

It was lovely to catch up with lots of you today and the rehearsals went really well.  There was lots of great expression in your voices.  Please, over half term, learn all your words, so that you know them off by heart.  The song lyrics are attached below.  Copies have also been left on the desk in reception, so please pop in and help yourself.  Please have a good look through them so that you know what parts you are singing.  For those of you who have solos - if you find it too much, we can shorten some songs or have other people come in.  We can discuss this as we go along.  Just don't panic over any of it - we will work it all out, so that you are happy!

Production!

Dear Year 6,

The end of year 6 is always an exciting time - looking forward to your Secondary School adventure whilst celebrating your time at Aldington. Usually this includes several special events for year 6. The plan is to hold on to as many of these as possible. We will be doing the 'Kicking out ceremony', Parents v Children rounders and shirt signing - currently I can't tell you when but we will make sure this takes place. 

Another thing year 6 look forward to is the production. This year will be no different! We are planning to remotely carry out auditions and some smaller rehearsals. We will share scripts and song lyrics and sort costumes all in advance of any joint rehearsals! We can't tell you currently when we will perform but again we will make every effort to perform our production as we always have!

This year we will be performing 'Oliver'! There are several major, minor and technical parts available. So initially all we would like to know is if you would like to audition for a main or minor part and if you are happy to potentially sing a solo. Once we have this information we will set up Zoom, Skype or Face time auditions and then we will cast the parts. 

If you are keen to audition or would like a technical (lighting /music) part please send an email to the class email eagles@aldington.kent.sch.uk and we will be in touch.,

The audition will consist of reading some lines in role (the script will be uploaded to the website today) and (if you plan to audition for a solo) singing a song of your choice.

Exciting times ahead. We look forward to hearing from you all!

Mrs Milward and Mr Dawson
