P6-7 Dance - Rutherglen Town Hall

Dear Parent/Carer,

South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture’s Active Schools team are delighted that your school will be participating in the South Lanarkshire Active Schools Primary Dance Fest 2025 for the Cambuslang & Rutherglen Locality! The event aims to give P6-P7 children an opportunity to showcase the routine that they have been practicing at school whilst having a fun and positive experience of sport and physical activity.

For this reason, the format will not be as a competition, it will be an exciting and enjoyable show for participants and spectators alike.

This letter is intended to provide you with some key information ahead of the event, including key dates in the lead up to the show. Please see event details including some Frequently Asked Questions below:

Venue: Rutherglen Town Hall
Time: 6:30pm for a 7pm prompt start
Date: Tuesday 01 April (Bankhead)
Cost: £3 per spectator ticket (participants do not require a ticket. See FAQ’s below regarding how to buy)

How do spectators purchase their tickets?
Tickets will be available from Rutherglen Town Hall or via the Rutherglen Town Hall Box Office from 09:00 on Friday 28 February by calling 0141 613 5700.

Please note, we are changing how we sell tickets. Schools have been asked to submit a list detailing their pupils’ names to their Active Schools Coordinator (no sensitive data shared) which has been shared with the Rutherglen Town Hall Box Office. At the time of booking, spectators will be asked to tell a member of South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture staff the child for whom they are purchasing tickets on behalf of and which school they attend (i.e the child participating). Spectators will only be allowed to purchase 2 tickets which will be on a first come, first served basis.
This new way of selling tickets is intended to provide a fairer balance of tickets sold across participating schools. However, Rutherglen Town Hall has a maximum capacity in operation and therefore we cannot guarantee that every parent will secure a ticket.

For this reason, tickets will go on sale at 09:00 on Friday 28 February and will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Parent/carer information letters will be issued to schools to circulate with families no later than Monday 24 February.

The audience will be required to stay for the duration of all schools’ performances and then children will be collected at the end of the event. If spectators have special access requirements, they should make the staff aware at the time of booking.

What if spectators need more than 2 tickets?
Any remaining tickets will be put on unrestricted sale from 09:00 on Saturday 22 March on a first come, first served basis, available from Rutherglen Town Hall via the Rutherglen Town Hall Box Office by calling 0141 613 5700.

How do parent/carers inform schools that they are happy for their child to take part?
Please return the accompanying consent form and photo/video permission form to your respective school office no later than Friday 14 March 2024.

Food / Refreshments
Food / Refreshments will not be provided by South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture. Schools are welcome to encourage their pupils to bring a packed snack / juice to have in between rehearsal time and the live show.

School transportation and arrival times?
Transport is not provided by South Lanarkshire Leisure & Culture, and it is the responsibility of parent/carers to make arrangements to get their child to and from the venue. School establishments are also welcome to make their own arrangements and therefore your child’s school may be in contact with you separately regarding this.

Children will not be permitted to leave the venue by themselves at the end of the evening. All children are required to be collected by a responsible adult.

Each respective school is required to provide a member of school staff to assist with the dismissal of their pupils at the end of the evening, including being present with their school from 4:30pm.

Pupils will meet at 4:30pm at Rutherglen Town Hall to practise their routine and familiarise themselves with the venue. Pupils will be supervised by SLLC Active Schools and/or other school staff, and parents can return to the hall from 6:30pm ready for the show to start at 7pm.

The children will receive their letters today at the rearranged dance club - Monday 24th Feb. Please note it is not on tomorrow.

World Book Day - Thursday 6th of March 2025

Hi,

At Bankhead we love to celebrate World Book Day. This year we will be doing lots of exciting reading activities on Thursday the 6th of March. All pupils are encouraged to wear pyjamas to school next Thursday as our theme is to be cosy and to 'Cuddle Up with a Good Book'.

We will have a book swap stall where pupils can bring in a book from home on Thursday the 6th of March and swap it for a different book. This is a great opportunity to recycle and discover books.

Many Thanks,
Miss Kirsty Magee

Room 1 week beginning 24-2-25

Good morning,
I hope you had a lovely weekend.

This week in literacy we are learning about the sounds 'w' and 'x' and the common words 'he, she, we, be, me'.  New flashcards for these will come home today along with a double sided formation sheet.

A new reading book will also be issued today into book bags.  Please return these on Friday.

In numeracy we are beginning work on time in class.  The homework task is a days of the week sequence sheet.  You can either cut and stick the days into order or draw lines to match the day to the position in the week.

On Friday it is Change for Charity with a suggested family donation of £1.

Please get in touch if you have any questions.
Regards,
Mrs Stevenson

Showcase

Good afternoon,

It's nearly show time!

Your child will come home with a line or a small script to learn for our showcase. 

I am hoping that most children will learn their lines/script in time for our showcase in March. 

Please spend some time with your child and read over their part with them so they feel confident during their performance. 

Thanks for all your support
Mrs Jolly
