Friday 2 June
This is a very special show about the family structures that are in our Community today. Costumes will be used to tell a story about a family adapting to changing circumstances and relationships. We will soon discover that all families live and love in many different ways. Permission slips will be found in your child's pocket - a fee is involved. Please feel free to come along with your child to watch this show even if it is not your child's usual day of attendance. (Parent must stay with their child)
