Dear Parents and Carers,
It has been a pleasure to see the children enjoying participating in this week’s Shaking Up Shakespeare drama workshop. They have shown great dedication already in learning their individual lines, working collaboratively and have been embracing and overcoming the difficulties of performing.
We are delighted to invite you into Handsworth to watch our evening performance at

We will dismiss children using our usual routine on Friday at 3.30.

Costumes
Costumes are mostly provided by Anthony Glenn. He has requested that the children bring in a black/dark t-shirt to wear for the performance. This can be brought in before Friday and kept in school.
The children are putting in enormous effort into producing the show and we want to ensure the focus is on celebrating their performance. Where possible, we ask that you make alternative arrangements for younger siblings. All classes from Year 1 and above will have had the opportunity to watch the show during the dress rehearsals.
We kindly ask that you limit attendees to two people per child to ensure safe capacity. Please do advise us beforehand if you would like to bring additional people via email
school@handsworth.waltham.sch.uk and we will endeavour to accommodate this.
Best regards,
Mr Mussell & Mr Scott
