Glee Club

The children's first unit exams at school finished yesterday, and today there was something new on the program. Next Wednesday is Independence Day for India, which is celebrated in Indian schools with cultural concerts.

The children in our Ananda Vidyalayam School learn songs, dances, and dramas for their Independence Day concert, and practice began after the exams were finished. There wasn't much actual help we could give while the children were practicing, but we were able to keep up some English language work in between dances for the children, and they certainly seemed to enjoy having some extra audience to perform to and some more people to join in a bit with their practicing!

The children also really wanted to take photos of each other, so once again I have ended up with a large collection of kids'-eye-view pictures which are mostly very blurry, but also very sweet :)

As the children we practicing all day Thursday and Friday, Alex and I both alternated spending some time with the children and spending some time in the office working on computer-based placement activities and trying to catch up on some uni work.
