CNY Celebration in School

This year CNY celebration in school, all parents were invited to the celebration ... so the school booked a small function room next door for the event

Performance item by the playgroup .... see Trisha 妹妹 in the first row second from the left .... she is able to do every action (guess she is the oldest) with expression ... and Issac 弟弟 on the extreme left. He could also do most action, but without expressions ... ha ha. He looked quite lost in front of the audience. But the outer red jacket that he wore was really nice, suited him a lot. And Cherelle 妹妹 behind kept crying the moment she stepped into the function room .... think she must have stage fright, with all the eyes looking at her

Then came my class' (nursery) performance. We were supposed to do a skit on the story of Chinese New Year "年的故事" .... so Joel was acting the creature 年 and Kai Kai was the wise old man who would advise all of us (villagers) how to get rid of the creature. But Kai Kai had stage fright so he forgot all that he was supposed to say so 宋老师 had to say the lines for him (considering that we are only 4 years old, never cry in front of a big crowd was considered very good already. Ha ha). So all of us took out our drums and cymbals and started to 敲锣打鼓 to chase away the creature. And we also ran around the function room to scare away the creature .... Elise was the leader for one of the lions ... at least she knew what to do. Ha ha. And the creature was 舞狮...finally chased away and everyone cheered !! And that is the reason why people say "恭喜恭喜" when they meet one another, to congratulate them for not being eaten up by the creature .....

宋老师 was telling Mummy that during one of the rehearsal, Joel threw tantrums and did not want to act the creature 年 so 宋老师 asked who wanted to act that role. So I volunteered. Managed to say all the lines, but in the end 宋老师 said I was too 清声细语 to be a monster :P

Then the older K1 and K2 performance. Really more coordinated than the younger ones ... even the boys are not too bad



After the performance, there were games for the adult (parents) and us as well .... and Daddy volunteered with Nana's Mummy to form a team to play pictionary ....

And the finale ... mass singing by all children and teachers !!!! And the song that I have been practising for a long long time ....



This year's CNY celebration in school is really fun, especially when all parents are invited to the celebration. Hope they have this every year !!!
