OK, now, listen, everyone, because I’m going to give you some important information about the end-of-year dinner and entertainment show. You should know by now that it’s on June 26th. Now, we’ve changed the start time. I told you it would start at six o’clock. But, it’ll now begin at half-past five as we had to change when it will end. You may remember, it was to end at ten, but some parents say that’s too late, so it’ll now end at nine-thirty. Please tell your parents to pick you up then, and no later.

You’re a very lucky year group because we aren’t having the dinner at the school this year. It’ll be at the Banyan Tree Restaurant. You need to tell us by Monday what you want to eat. You have three main meals to choose from. You can have fish, beef, or vegetable curry with rice. There also be a salad, pasta and dessert buffet where you can help yourself to more food if you’re still hungry. Please remember to make your choices using the Google Form, that I’ve just sent to your school email address. Do you have any questions?
