As the chilly Nagano winds remind us that winter is arriving \u2744\ufe0f, our classroom has been buzzing with excitement as we prepare for our Christmas performance! \ud83c\udf84\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we really focused on the play because Friday was our very first stage rehearsal. We headed upstairs to watch Milky Way perform their piece, and then they watched ours. After that, we did some peer assessment\u2014sharing helpful, kind suggestions to help each other improve. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the play successful, we came away with three important points to practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Speak loudly and slowly! \ud83c\udfa4<\/strong>
<\/strong> There\u2019s no need to rush. When we speak too quickly, it\u2019s hard for the audience to understand. Let\u2019s practice using clear, confident voices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Stand still while others speak. \ud83c\udf1f<\/strong>
<\/strong> When it\u2019s our friends\u2019 time to shine, we want the audience to stay focused on them. Standing still helps everyone look their best on stage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Big gestures, don\u2019t be shy! \ud83d\ude4c<\/strong>
<\/strong> On stage, movements can look much smaller than they feel, so big, brave actions help bring the story to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve sent home typed scripts, so mums and dads\u2014please help your child practice at home. \ud83c\udfe0\ud83d\udc9b Have a discussion about our 3 points to practice.
We\u2019ll also be adding in some prerecorded narrative lines, so please practice those for Monday as well. Your child\u2019s lines are clearly marked on their script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week we also made our crowns, and next week we\u2019ll be decorating them even more. They\u2019re already very<\/em> shiny\u2014everyone was so excited to try them on! \ud83d\udc51\u2728<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We practiced our music with Aurora too, and the improvement is really showing. Great job, everyone! \ud83c\udfb6\ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, we enjoyed our last dance class until January. We\u2019ll miss it, but don\u2019t worry\u2014we\u2019ll be practicing a dance at school instead. It\u2019s important to stay active, especially during these chilly winter days! \ud83d\udc83\ud83d\udd7a\u2744\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
