Our Concert Week!!

Hi Families,

What an exciting week we have had! Thank you so much for coming to our concert and supporting us! We hope you enjoyed the show!

Here are some stories from behind the scenes!

Videos
Many families sent information about different countries that we have been to or where our family is from. We researched these countries and learned about different dances from these areas. We chose our favourite 5 videos to show you at the concert. You got to see Bhangra, Irish Step Dancing, Merengue, Shaolin Monk Dance, The Hora, and Tinikling. 

Decorations
Our class made all the signs, words, and messages that you saw on the walls for the concert. We shared different languages that we speak and we learned some new languages too!
                    

Costumes
We watched different videos of hula dancers to prepare for our performance. We planned and made different grass and straw outfits to wear. We made our own head pieces too!
                   

Hawaiian Roller Coaster
While we watched hula videos, we learned different actions can tell a story. We chose some hula actions to match our song and made some of our own moves too. We all helped to make the moves for our dance! Can you tell which moves are our favourites?

Millions Dreams
We have had so much fun learning this song because we got to visit other classes to go and sing with them. Our class was partnered with Mrs. Harcharik's class for our part. Each class chose a special dream for the world. We voted to choose our class dream:
We dream of a world full of love, kindness, and respect.

Dress Rehearsal Surprise
Thursday afternoon we practised the concert for the students at the school. They loved it! After the concert our big buddies surprised us with a BIG card and a message! We love our big buddies!
                     

Family Performance
We were so excited to perform for you last night. First, we were a bit nervous because the lights were all off but then we were ready to dance and sing. We even saw some of you singing O Canada with us!
          

Snacks and Crafts
Many families sent in food donations and we made head bands and bracelets to sell at the concert.
