Hello, everyone! The past two weeks have been very exciting and a little bit stressful. Grade 6 students prepared diligently for their performance of “Home Alone?”, practicing their lines and fine-tuning their staging. On Friday, we practiced at the event hall and on Tuesday, we assisted Grade 5 with preparing for their PYP Exhibition, like the good senpai that we are. 🎅

Finally, the big day came. The students seemed nervous in the morning, but managed to relax a little bit while watching other classes’ performances. We laughed a lot, clapped and sang. The students were anxious to start performing and, when it was their turn to get on stage, helped set up all the props as quickly as they could and performed with their best big voices and movements, despite being a little bit nervous. We all hope you enjoyed the performance and let’s support the students next year as well. ⛄

The students reflected this week on the show, saying that they enjoyed making and organizing the props for the stage and seeing their schoolmates perform. The thing they didn’t enjoy were how nervous they got about speaking in front of others. Let’s think of ways to help them come out of their shell and be less shy. 🎁

We’ve spent the rest of week having a lot of rest time, lazying around and spending some quality time with our G5 and Middle School Friends. Sometimes we all just need to unwind. We finished our year with a small Christmas party, playing games and watching a movie. Thank you for your support with the preparation and we hope you have the most wonderful holidays. Happy New Year! 🎄

皆さん、こんにちは！！

この2週間は、とてもエキサイティングで、でも少し気が焦ることがあった日々でした💦
Grade6は、Performance Dayの演目に “Home Alone? “という劇を行いました。
この日のために熱心に準備し、セリフの練習や演出の微調整をしましたよ～！！
金曜日にはイベントホールで練習をし、火曜日には5年生のPYPエキシビションの準備を、良き先輩としてサポートしました🎅

いよいよ本番当日。朝は緊張している様子でしたが、他のクラスのパフォーマンスを見ながら、少しリラックスすることができました。たくさん笑い、手拍子をし、歌いました。Grade6は、自分たちの演目が始まるのを心待ちにしており、自分たちの番が来ると、大道具の設置をできるだけ早く手伝い、少し緊張しながらも、最高の大きな声と動きで演奏してくれました。
スタッフ一同、今回の公演を楽しんでいただき、来年も素敵なショーに出来たらいいな、と思います⛄

生徒たちは今週、本番を振り返り、「舞台の小道具を作ったり、整理したりするのが楽しかった」「学校の友達の演技を見るのが楽しかった」と話していました。苦手なことは、人前で話すことに緊張してしまったことだそうです。どうしたら恥ずかしがらずに、自分の殻を破ることができるのか、考えてみましょう🎁

皆さん、来年もよろしくお願いします🎄
