Rainbow Day












































On 6 October, our school celebrated Children's Day. It was also the last Rainbow Day of the year. This Rainbow Day was especially special to the students in 1H as it was their turn to perform on stage. The students spent time researching and discussing for an item to perform. We decided on a dance item. I suggested the we could do an action song from the many Hi-5 songs. But many were against the idea, they feedback that the songs were too"kiddy".

Amabel suggested a song "Don't stop Believing". It was taken from the show " Glee". After showing the students the dance moves from "Youtube", they all loved it and were excited to start learning the dance moves.

I seek the help from Mrs Tong, an Endeavour teacher who has a gift for dance to teach the students the dance moves. We were grateful that she agreed and took time off from her free periods to train the little ones. She choreographed the dance moves and the students practised hard. Though the class could not quite get some of the steps right at first, I am glad to see that they persevere on and tried their best to learn. I like that spirit.

Their hard work paid off and they put up a great performance on Rainbow Day. Great job, 1H! I am proud of you. A big thank you to all parents who took time off to support the children.

A video of their performance can be found on the homepage of our school blog. Here are some photos I would like to share.
