I was attempting to make a vlog for this day but its so much
god damn work I gave up maybe 4 hours in....go me.
So this was the 18th of December! I had my first
class at 9 30 and after that rushed over to the restaurant for the party. Got
there about…11ish and didn’t do anything till 1! Excellent! How it went down
was people came in around 10 30 until 11 and everything started then. We had
lots of shows and singing and food but I will get to that.
The first show was by the L4’s who are around 7 or 8
usually. They sang a few carols which you can see on my youtube channel I think
they are awesome but maybe that’s because 4 of them are my students! Mwhahahaaaaaaa
The second show I had a hand in was the L2’s singing! 4 out
of the 5 of them are my students and they were amazing. Especially ‘5 little monkies’ I cry everytime
I watch it.
Rosanna played a BIG game of charades with a ton of students
which went down pretty well too. I masterminded a game where teams of 2 race to
dress as Santa faster than other pairs and the kids seemed to really enjoy that
too.
There was a short play a wrote acted out by my L6C class
which you can see on my youtube account. Not the best acting but they are at
the age where looking stupid in public is a nono but in rehearsal they were
really good.
Fred, played a game the Chinese really like. Its when a
foreigner hears part of a Chinese song and then has to try and sing the rest and
the other people guess the song. Fred tried his…best? They loved it anyway!
There was also a couple of story tellings from students. 2
students (one was mine hahahaaaaa again) recited pretty lengthy Christmas
dialogs which were great as well.
During all of these I took photo’s ate some food and met a
lot parents. There were 200 guests (kids and parents total) and a lot wanted
just to say hi which was my pleasure because most of kids a re great.
My time came at 1ish where I dressed up as Santa and
interview some of my students to prove they could actually speak English. After
that I took this massive bag full of candies and handed them out to parents and
student alike. Lots of photos and smiles! It was good fun. Took some time to
get to everyone individually but when I was done it was time to go! Changed
back into my work gear and went back to do 3 more lessons. A tiring day.
