5th Grade Performance

On Friday afternoon March 27th, we headed over to Gumligen. It was our first time to drive to the boy's school. We always have taken the train. We had beautiful views the whole way over. This picture was the best one of the mountains that I took. I hope you can see the mountains.

Lucas's class sang some songs and played some instruments. It was a program created by the kids with some guidance from the teachers. They then put on a play called "The Rainbow People" It was a combination of acting, dancing and having some fun. There was no speaking parts, just body language. Lucas did very well. We all enjoyed watching him.

In the first video, they are all pretending to be hatching from eggs. Lucas is in the middle dressed in all black.

After they hatched, they realized there were others just like them. They copied one another and then broke off into four groups - blue, green, yellow and red. Each group had something special associated with them. One had water, another had fire, another had food and the last group had material for clothing. Once they discovered that the other groups had something different, they began to steal from one another. So the following video is the scene that followed. The groups marched towards one another and then broke out into a fight scene.

Then a member from each group had "died". A "teacher" gathered everyone together and showed them that they needed to share and get along. Then the ones that had "died" came back and everyone was happy and celebrated. That was Lucas sliding on his knees. You just watched 1 minute from a 45 minute video. I keep having images of Lucas performing on the streets in Paris with a little cup sitting in front of him. Hee Hee!
