1st Dress up days for 2013

Both our Lower and Upper Primary classes had "dress up" days to help get into character for their improvisations. The Lower Primary classes (age 5- 8yrs) dressed up as Pirates for their play "The Pirate Ship" . Lots of OOHs! and AAHS ! and  a  mean Pirate captain kept the kids entertained and they had loads of fun. The techniques used  in our improvisations help develop self confidence by encouraging adlibbing, social interaction and vocal training.

Our Upper primary class had an opportunity to dress up as tourists from all over the world  in the
improvisation "Hotel Lobby". They were able to practice international accents including Indian,German, French and  American amongst many!
