K2 UISGZ Newsletter Week of 1st December 2014

Last week we started to learn our dance for this

years Festival of Lights. We will be practicing
more this week.
Notes were sent home last week about Festival of
Lights costumes. Please send in a white plain
shirt, plus dark trousers for boys. Covered shoes
are preferred as well, as it will be quite cold and
