Today the teacher has told me the science fair
was a success. The children seemed happy with the idea of contest, and the
project enhanced creativity and curiosity for science. Today all the school was
on their preparations for the music festival. Rehearsals with all classes were
going to take place for all of the morning, meaning 3 lines of P5 and 2 lines
of P3, P4 1ST, 2ND 3RD, 4TH, 5TH
and6TH grade. Aside from the song per class based on Tintin
cartoons, in which the music teacher played the piano and the children sang,
the students had to sing an English song.
This means I could not do any session this
week, because the group I have been given to develop the session is only with
the teacher for Monday and Tuesdays, and on Friday the children will have to
sit on an exam. I am already planning activities in order to have them ready
for the week there is no travel and no music festival.
The children were doing ok, although some of
the songs were similar to each other and doing the rehearsals took huge amounts
of time. The ones I liked the most were one of the English one about the
children’s sister being the best one in the world”, which has a funny and
original choreography, and my teacher ones, which included the only dance in
which students also had to sing in English, and another one about directions
they had been practicing. The second grade song about the pirates was funny as
well. I stayed there, making sure all the children behaved well and recorded
the sixth grade students’ dance.
In the evening I went to 1st and 2nd
grade to practice the songs with the children. I already knew the second one
and began dancing it with the teachers who were sharing the lesson. Sadly, I
will miss the festival because it will be on Thursday, but having seen the
rehearsal I have an idea on how it will go. Teachers commented it was time-demanding
as it took lessons time but it was due to the Anniversary of the school and
parents were invited, being an important event for the school.
