JBC Open House
Culmination of the 3 days of Hol Bible Sch, the Open House is often the highlight for the kids. They get to show all their friends and parents what they did during the whole yr: worksheets, art and craft, skits, songs, video clips etc. They also play games and receive presents and door gifts.
For me, because my kids belong to the younger age groups, their skits or songs are usually very comical and entertaining because with such young kids, they always do things that are spontaneous and often outside the script. Of course, this causes their teachers a lot of grief during rehearsals, but it is just amusing and funny to behold.
Likewise, I found everything very funny and laughed so much, esp when ds1 didn't toe the line, and kept stepping forward to sing right into the mic. Normally after a certain age, eg my sch students (17-18yr olds), they shy away fr the mic. Or even me, I will back away from it if it were thrust in front of me. But not for ds1. He wanted the limelight and probably wanted to hear his voice the loudest?? So he hogged the mic.
For the skit, he acted as one of the wise men who followed the star to Bethlehem and worshipped baby Jesus when they found him in the manger.
For ds2, their class, the cradle roll, consists of babies from 0-2 yrs old. So they need not put up skits but rather had a video clip, done up by me, to showcase what they did through the year in their lessons. It was super funny too and the little tots and babes looked so adorable.
When the prize presentation time came, ds1 was given the "Best in singing" prize in his class. Not a surprise I think, he takes after his daddy. Always trying to sing the loudest. :-) Mx (his classmate and friend) got "best in attendance and best memory" while Clara got "Best in Bible knowledge and colouring". So, judging from the prize titles, you'll see my son got the least academic prize of all. Aiyoh. But hey, both of them loved their presents so much.
All the teachers got something too. Actually I already know what it is, cos my sis was in charge of buying it and I saw what she got from Ikea. haha.
I will miss Open House too!
rainbows every day, do not worry for the morrow
