Post-exam activities

The exams are over! The pupils are not required to bring their books to school anymore for this year (for English and Maths, not sure about the other subjects). Just bring writing and colouring materials.

For the past week, the pupils were involving in some colouring activities in class. I conducted a class colouring competition last Friday. Most of them coloured extremely well. Hopefully, I can take some photographs and upload them for all to see during the school holidays.

For the following weeks, the pupils will be involved in making the props for the end of the year drama performance. As you all may know, the pupils were given a drama lesson a week.

On Monday, the pupils will be asked to make a mask. They are to bring colouring materials, coloured paper, any materials that can be pasted or added to the mask to make it look colourful and 3-dimensional. They should bring scissors, glue,etc too.
I will provide the basic mask template and cardboard.

The pupils are also asked to bring a used white t-shirt. We welcome adult-size or kid-size. If there are printed words or pictures, it is acceptable, as long as it is white. The pupils will be adding colours and patterns to the used t-shirts. As there are a few days of school holidays(7 Nov-School Admin Day, 8 Nov-Deepavali), they can continue the project at home. The t-shirt they create will be worn by themselves. It does not matter if the t-shirt is too big for your child. The costume is meant for the drama performance and the t-shirt being oversized will add theatric effect to the performance.

The purpose of making the mask and decorating the t-shirt themselves is to give the children a sense of ownership pride when they see the finished product and see themselves wearing it. The concept of recycling is introduced through the decorating of the old t-shirt .

I will give more instructions and details tomorrow.

Thanks for your time and have a nice evening!
