"People of the World" Concert

Well the concert was great! The kids were so cute. Each class had a song/dance routine from a different country ... here's a quick run down of the programme:

- Olympic 2008 (toddlers morning class)
- China - "New Melody of Souna"
- Malaysia - "Wau Bulan"
- Central America - "Tingalayo" (this was the song "ride little donkey ride, the donkey walks, the donkey talks" you know the one!)
- Egypt - Arabian Night
- Australia - Kookaburra
- India - Colours of Bollywood (Aaron's class and another afternoon session class)
- USA - Cowboys and Cowgirls
- New Zealand - Hakka Dance
- Children of the World
- Gym Performance
- Finale -1) "I have a Dream" and 2) "Geylang Si Paku Geylang" (all the kids up on stage mainly just staring at the crowd!)

We can order copies of the DVD so think we may do that as we were at the back and kept having heads pop up in the way. So here's some photos, no editing done sorry, might see if I can order some photos of Aaron's group as well.

This was the Australian song. And Aaron frowning and staring at the crowd and sort of shaking his rattle,

Aaron's class singing and dancing and shaking their rattles! Then notice that little boy in the dark blue costume to the left of Aaron, well he was at the back and came right to the front of the stage and just stood there staring at the main video camera.

Aaron decided he needed to be there too, so went one better and actually stood on the top step to the stage. Then of course when the curtain was pulled he was on the wrong side of it! haa haa

Here's the "Maori's" :-) Spot the tongue's poking out.

And the Maori's again and then Children of the World. The little guy dressed as a tree did an excellent job. He stood there really really still and stared at the crowd while the hunters and tigers pranced around him. :-)

And here they all are for the Grand Finale. The little girl in pink to the right of Aaron is in his class, she's from Holland.

The display of NZ stuff at the school (most of it loaned by us). Discovered a beaver of all things amongst the plastic animals!! All labeled and everything! Might need to tell them we don't have those in NZ! ha ha

Great fun, and the poor kids have to do it all over again tomorrow!
