Dear Parents,
The Kindergarten class met today from 8 - 9 am
to rehearse the musical. They did a great job of focusing, following
directions and telling the story to their musical! This class
incredibly good at singing in tune and making the song come to life. We
had help from Ms. Ani, our High School Drama teacher, with a few
multimedia clips that should help our story be even more interesting.
Ms. Helal from Host Culture Studies has worked with us to learn a Bangla
song that has made this musical specific to us in Bangladesh. Mr.
Tunheim is teaching us how to paint the back drop for our show! Mr.
Rob, our Middle School Drama teacher, has helped behind the scenes to
make the Community Hall more 'theater-like'. We have been so fortunate
to have so many people take an interest in our show and help make it fun
and exciting! While the script called for adults to narrate, each
student has been pre-recorded so that they have a part in telling this
story.
If your child wants to practice, the following lines will be spoken by everyone during the performance:
- Oh, no! Our train is broken. What shall we do? We need another engine to push us over the mountain.
- Clickety clack! Clickety clack!
- All the while, the children in the Chittagong Village Station were waiting and waiting for Happy Train.
- The train, the train, is very, very late! It’s bringing food and toys. It’s hard for us to wait
- We don't think you can pull us over the mountain, but you can try.
- HOORAY, HOORAY FOR THE BRAVE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD SING US OVER THE MOUNTAIN!
One
of the comments from today's rehearsal that may make our show better is
for our students to dress in their classroom t-shirts for uniformity on
14 March.
We are so excited to share with you our hard work on Monday, 14 March!
