Pupil Popstars
Dear Parents
Your child may have told you that we are holding our Swinemoor X-Factor Show on the afternoon of Friday 23rd October and that all of our children will be taking part. Just as in previous years, we are unfortunately unable to invite parents along to the event due to lack of space, but we intend once again to show as many ‘highlights’ at other concerts during the year as we possibly can.
We are inviting the children to dress up as ‘Pop Stars’ for this special occasion! Please could your child come to school in school uniform as normal, bringing a change of clothes in a named carrier bag. The outfit could be as simple as jeans and a T-shirt, or as inventive as you like (some suggestions: wigs, bangles, shades, colourful clothing or leather/denim). However, we ask that the girls do NOT wear high-heeled shoes or make-up.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
Mr J Cunningham
