Christmas 2012 - Zeebees (4 to 7-year-olds)

IT'S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR...(NEARLY)


WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS TERM OF A TO ZEEBEES (FOR 4 TO 7 YEAR OLDS)



Here is our plan this term...also you can refer to this particular page of the blog at any time to see what the schedule is for the day in question.

Theatre: This group will be doing a Nativity play directed by Shaan Libby.

Poetry: Christmas poems with Tehzeeb Katari.

Dance: Boney M's Mary's Boy Child, and Rocking around the Christmas Tree with Manikandan and Prarthana.
Also choreography to a Christmas medley.

Singing: Carols which will be interspersed throughout the play.

Art: Christmas craft with Philip

We meet every Wednesday from 4pm till 6pm.
End of year show date: Sunday 16th December 2012 at Freemasons Hall. Please be in town!

As always all proceeds of the show go to charity. We are raising for Parikrma this term. (www.Parikrmafoundation.org) - they are doing some amazing work building schools for the underprivileged and educating them in English.

Those wishing to sponsor the rental of the theatre, sound, lights, costumes, sets, - please let us know. The approximate costs are 5,000 for sound, 5k for lights, 5k for photography/videography, not sure how much for costumes. We already have a sponsor for the venue. 

This would help enormously, so that ticket prices can be kept low and more can go straight to the charity. You can deal directly with the vendors or go through us - whatever is your preference. Your company name will of course be displayed, you are free to put up a banner as a sponsor, and you will be thanked in the programme.
