Costumes
Key Stage 2 will be putting on several performances of their show, Panto Pandemonium, this July (see our events calendar for more details). We would be grateful if you could arrange for your child to bring into school a costume for their role in the show. We would like costumes to be brought into school by the end of June, clearly labelled with your child’s name.
Your child has been given a letter detailing their role in the show and the type of costume required. Children in Year 5 & 6 who are members of the after-school drama club will take on the lead roles and have been given letters specific to their role. All other Key Stage 2 children will take on the following roles and require the following costumes:
- Year 3 = party people (Hawaiian party clothes e.g. grass skirts, bermuda shorts, Hawaiian shirts, leis, sunglasses etc.)
- Year 4 = pirates (any pirate-type costume and any associated accessories e.g. peg-legs, parrots on the shoulder, eye patch etc.)
- Year 5 & 6 girls = baddies (any villain-type costumes e.g. witches)
- Year 5 & 6 boys = jailed convicts (e.g. stripy top/trousers, plain black clothes and any associated accessories e.g. ball and chain. They will be singing and dancing as part of their role and therefore can also bring in blow-up saxophones, guitars, microphones etc.)
If you have any questions, please speak to your child’s teacher or Mrs Bristowe.
Songs & Lyrics
As part of their role in the show, your child will be required to sing a song. Your child will have lots of opportunities to practise their song in school over the next few weeks. However, should your child wish to practise at home, the lyrics and tunes to their songs has been shared with your child in J2E (part of their HWB account). In order to access these, your child will need to:
- Log into HWB
- Open j2e
- Open “Shared Files”
- Click on “Blaenbaglan Primary School”
- Open the “Panto Pandemonium” folder
Each year group will be singing a different song:
- All children = Goodbye (lyrics and tune in J2E)
- Year 3 = Agadoo (lyrics only in J2E, the song can be found on YouTube)
- Year 4 = What Shall We Do With Captain Hook (lyrics and tune can be found on J2E however the example song is “What Shall We Do With Long John Silver”. The tune is exactly the same, just “Long John Silver” will be replaced with “Captain Hook” for our performance, as per the lyric sheet)
- Year 5 & 6 girls = Let’s Hear It For The Baddies (lyrics and tune in J2E)
- Year 5 & 6 boys = Jailhouse Rock (lyrics only in J2E, the song can be found on YouTube)
