We are taking them to see the schools’ matinee of The Elves and the Shoemaker performed by Northern Ballet at Milton Keynes Theatre on the afternoon of Friday 1 st May. This will give the children the opportunity to see a first class professional ballet production, and also links to a major KS1 lite racy theme of exploring traditional tales. We will be walking there from school, and stopping for a picnic lunch on the way. We have for many years walked Year 2 to or from CMK, and we find that this distance is perfect for them to experience how travelling on foot can be both feasible and enjoyable. It’s great exercise too! Instead of collecting your child from school, we are asking you to collect your child from the square at the front of MK Theatre between 3.00pm and 3.30pm where we will be waiting. T his timing should allow for those who need to collect older or younger siblings in Loughton. We will make arrangements for After School Club children to be brought back to school. Your child needs:  comfortable sturdy walking shoes  sun hat/sunscreen and/or wet weather gear dependent upon weather. We will be going whatever the weather!  You do not need to provide a packed lunch. We have arranged for this to be provided for all by our caterers, as their free lunch entitlement. As ever, these enrichment activities come with an additional cost, so we would be grateful if you were able to make a voluntary contribution of £6.00, the cost of the ticket. Best wishes, Lizzie Bancroft ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Child’s Name ________________________ Class ___________________________ I enclose a voluntary contribution of £6.00 towards the MK Theatre.
