Plays

 

Today we had a special performance for the visitors who are here and the mothers and aunties.  The three reading groups of the oldest class had each prepared a play.  The first was "The Three Billy Goats Gruff."  Terrance was the mean troll, Roman was the narrator, and Sharon S, Precious, and John were the 3 billy goats.  All of their lines were memorized. 

 

We have some very wonderful risers that were sent over on the last Michigan container by the Education Leadership team.  So we used 2 of them to form the bridge that the goats were crossing, and where the troll stopped them.

 

The second play was "The Boy who Cried Wolf."   Moses was the boy, Selita was a sheep, Brighton was the wolf, and Sharon J and Prudence were the townsfolk.  Originally I was not planning for this group to do a play.  But they saw the other 2 groups working on plays and so they prepared their play in about a week.  Again the risers came in handy to form the hill where the boy had the sheep.

 

The last group did the play of a Korean folk tale, "The Swallow's Gift."  Namakau was the swallow, Nelson and Paul were the 2 brothers, Mary S. was the mother, and Isaac was the son of one of the brothers.  This time the risers were the family's house. 

 

The children had costumes adapted from some of the Christmas costumes as well as material that we have in the office.  Everyone had lines to learn and they did a great job.  We expect to do these plays at least one more time for more volunteers that come this summer.
