Could any teachers / TAs etc answer a question? Do schools tend to keep a note of which children have had parts in the class assembly /play etc?
Year 3 dd is very upset about not getting a part in her school play. Of course we're trying to help her put it into perspective, learn a life lesson and understand that not everyone can have the acting parts etc. But she keeps asking why it's never her - every year (and they do a performance thing twice a year) she's part of the 'crowd' people etc, sometimes 1 line as a narrator but no actual part.
I totally get that teachers will probably look to certain children who they think will be best able to handle the parts, but it just made me wonder whether her teacher this year can see which children had the parts in year 2, year 1 etc and try to spread it out a bit or whether it's a unique decision each year without any knowledge of previous years?
