The Show!!!

 Today was our show, the one I talked about in my post about Katy Perry's song Firework.  If you haven't read it already, click here.

Everyone did amazing, really good.  I had lots of fun.  The show was based around students real experiences facing oppression, bullying, diversity, and racisim.  The "director" for all of this has been a woman named Patti Allan. She was our "artist in residence" for this year. She was great at encouraging us to speak louder and not be shy.  I'd say she did a really good job.  My class was  in a scene called Sports Day, about a girl named Jasmine who gets bullied because she is really small.  Me and 4 other kids from my class danced in a piece called "Emma's Journal".  It's about a girl who experiances racisim from her best friend.  I was also in the finale dance, the one with the song Firework.  The show was really good and I can tell that the conversations at recess will be a lot different from now on.  I wish everyone in the world could have seen this, because it really does make people think before they speak. And now.............THE PICTURES!!!!

Dance

The grades 5,6, and 7 are putting on a show based on the things that we have learning about in drama, racism, oppression, and inclusion.  In the show, there is going to be a dance number.  Today was are first practice. I really like the dance so far.  It is to Katy Perry's Firework. It is a really good song,  I had it in my head all day!  I keep you posted as it goes on.
