Dear Parents/Guardians

Just a short reminder that the annual Christmas School Concerts take place this week.

Please assist us to ensure that the concerts are safe and enjoyable by :

• Bringing your child to the school foyer 15 minutes before the concert starts
• Taking coats etc from your child before they enter they foyer
• Entering the Hall yourself through the side door
• Ensuring that children you have with you remain seated during the performance
• Collecting your own child from the appointed area at the end of the performance
• Following instructions issued by the teachers

In order to maintain the Hall flooring to the highest standard there is absolutely no food or drink allowed in the Hall. Smoking is prohibited by law on the premises.

The children have spent a lot of time in preparation for their performance and along with the teachers are excited about their concert. Please support the event by your attendance and encourage them in their participation.

I look forward to meeting you on the night

Can Maths make Dinner?
With Dr Nora Khaldi

Dr Nora Khaldi uses mathematics and computers to help understand the molecules in food. Nora will share with the children how her research has helped to make foods that help people to be healthier by communicating healthy signals to our bodies.

Plants get sick too
With Dr. Angela Feechan

Plants can become infected with disease caused by viruses, bacteria or fungi – just like we can! Fungi and other disease in crop plants causes many problems, as it reduces the food supply available to people and animals. Biologist Dr Angela Feechan will help the children to understand how finding and tracking fungal genes can predict future disease outbreaks, helping us to stay one step ahead of diseases that can destroy crops in the farmer’s field.
