It says..

Wed - same school as monday 1-3.30pm
Thurs - same school as tuesday 1-3.30pm

A member of staff from school will take your child to the venue for the afternoon sessions but you will need to arrange for her to be collected at the end of the session. Please arrange for you child to be at the morning sessions for 9am.
Appropriate clothing and footwear and take their own water.
For your information the other children attending the class are :
so, she has been selected as one of three girls to attend this class.
Im very proud of her but don't know what FOR.
I cant imagine she has been selected for this as a result of her dance ability as she doesnt really enjoy it and bless her is a bit clumsy and not particularly physical.
She is however very, very bright so Im not sure if its her academic brightness that has earnt her the place on the course or what?
She is also pretty shy and Im not sure how she will feel about going to these different schools for the sessions but I hope she does as I think it is a lovely opportunity for her.
So......my question basically is, are they inferring that she is gifted and talented or do you think its just a random selection thing?
I jsut think they havent given me that much information here about why she has been selected, would be nice to know the areas that she is excelling in, if indeed that is the reason for her selection.
