Salsa Weeeekk!!

 

For the past year, we have taught and danced to hip-hop and house, which is why we decided to learn something different.  We plan to teach basic salsa by formulating a routine of our own, which incorporates the basic steps.  As this will be something new for both Yarubbi and I, we will be learning a new skill in the process.  To ensure the best turn out possible, we plan to make posters that will be hung around school as well as go to the different year groups to inform them of Salsa Week.

International Day!!

It would seem international Day, as a whole was a great success, especially the concert.  Pablo and I were in charge of handling the PA system, which meant we had to ensure the right music was played at the right times and that the microphones were fully functional.  Although we had a few technical difficulties with one of the performances, the event was quite successful.  

The food was also organised by the year 13's, which also proved to be successful as we did not have the same problem of running out of food like last year.  However, it would seem that the activities planned and organised by the year 12's were not as successful as most groups were done with their activities earlier than anticipated, which left the children with nothing to do.

Listed below are the learning outcomes that were achieved organizing this event:

• undertaking new challenges;
• working collaboratively with others; 
• planned and initiated activities; and
• increased awareness of strength and areas for growth

Planning of the International Day Concert

Instead of organizing the activities for this year's International Day, we (Benny, Michal, Pablo, Yarubbi and I) are organizing the concert. Progress has been made in organizing the event as we have put up a sign up sheet for people to participate and showcase their talent.  So far, we only have a few people who are willing to perform, but Mr. Russell, who is assisting in organizing the event, is also getting his music students to participate.  Apart from that, we also have to order the PA system in advance, to ensure there are no complications on the actual day.
