This year we are holding Christmas performances live again but, due to the restraints of the building in terms
of Covid distancing, these will be quite different to normal. Each phase in school will present a short
performance outside their classrooms and parents will walk around the outside of the building watching
these. The events will finish with refreshments and stalls on the playground presented by the friends of Mill
Dam. The performance will start with EYFS children under the canopy of the EYFS building; it will then move to
the canopy outside Y1 for the KS1 performance; then to the classroom doors outside class 2 and 3 for the
lower KS2 performance and to the doors outside class 4 and 5 for the upper KS2 performance. Parents will
walk around watching each performance in turn and will finish on the playground where the performing
children will come to meet you. Obviously this is somewhat weather dependent but we intend to go ahead in
all but the most extreme weather – please dress appropriately. There will be two performances one on
Wednesday, 8
th December starting at 5pm and one on Friday, 10th December at 1.15pm. We expect that the
performances in total will take around 90 minutes. As these are outside the building there is no need for anyone to book a ticket but please limit attendance to two adults per family to avoid overcrowding in the
outdoor areas. For the Wednesday evening performance children all need to return to school by 4.45
whichever class they are in. Children who are at after school club will just move from there to the
performance.
