The 4/5 concert

by Aashi

Yesterday, we had an amazing concert put on by the students of grade 4 and 5. We worked very hard, but in the final result, we thought it was worth all the effort. Each class put on a performance, and all of them referred to the quote, “Be the change you  want to see in the world” by Mahatma Gandhi. Our class paired up with another grade 5 class, and we recited the story of “The Great Kapok Tree”. Here is a picture of that book:

This is a book about all the animals of the Amazon rainforest sending a message to a man who was about to chop down the kapok tree. This book has a strong message, and I’m sure you will agree once you read it.

 

I felt that all the students did a great job, and there are thousands of words which you could describe it with. Here are a few:

  • Creative
  • Effective
  • Interesting
  • Strong Message
  • CHANGE

Earlier that day, we had a dress rehearsal in front of the rest of the students in the school.  After school, we had to come back for the presentation for our parents. Here is a collage I made of some “behind the scenes” pictures”:

The first picture shows one of the props we used in the play. All the props had to be painted with fluorescent paint, so that they would glow in the black light.

The picture right beside it is a picture of the students who were supposed to be humans, so they had to pin body parts to their clothes.

The image on the bottom-left corner is a picture of all the students singing the final song, which is “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” with different words. The rest of the pictures features students waiting for their turn to perform.
