Although these showcases are aesthetically pleasing for the audience, there are many aspects to teaching and learning that take place in the design and performance of the show.
Firstly, we try to allow as much student agency in how the presentation will look and sound. Students are very much a part in the design of their performance. Next, as the children begin to practice, they decide on what parts of the performance are working well for them, and what needs to be rethought to better their exhibition. This reflective piece is important to the students as they learn to analyze their actions and collaborate with their peers working together toward a common goal. Finally, during the actual show, the exhibit that they are risk-takers by being on the stage and presenting their learning confidently in front of approximately 1,000 people. There is much more to the learning journey than simply viewing the show.
I want to thank all the teachers, teaching assistants and the children for their effort.
As a reminder:
Our Learning Journey Concert is our end of semester celebration and will be held on 1st December 2018. Every class will be sharing their learning through song, dance, and drama. Students will arrive at the Kallang Theater at 9:00 am and will be taken by their teachers in the auditorium lobby. The Concert will begin at 10:00 am. The show will last approximately one hour. Although the theater is spacious, there are only enough seats to allow 3 tickets for each family. Doors will open for parents to be seated at 9:45.
