What I enjoyed most about watching all of the performances was the way the singing was accompanied by some form of dance that matched the rhythm of the song. I was very impressed by their coordination. Having swung dance, I know there were times when I would not have been able to keep track of footwork, hand motions and singing words! Not only was the song choreographed, but so were the entrances and exits. Some of the footwork was really neat, especially when they all performed it in unison. You could tell it was something that became more comfortable as one got older. I think Standard 1 marched on, sort of. They were not quite in a line, not at all together, but with just enough rhythm to make you realize that there was supposed to be some sort of footwork that they were all supposed to be doing!

Graduation
Graduation was this past Friday, so all of the standards spent last week preparing songs, dances or plays to perform at the ceremony. The younger standards were very cute. Preschool chanted in unison and Standard two performed a song about different dreams that could come true if you studied hard. Each verse had a student illustrating different possible futures. The funniest was the verse where they were imagining being a bishop. This little Standard two boy made a very pronounced sign of the cross and tried to bless another student, with so much force and enthusiasm that it looked more like he was trying to knight his fellow classmate and maybe knock him out. Teacher Joyce and I were sitting next to each other dying laughing.
