The girls school concert was a hit!
The theme was "Local is Lekker" and they had each class do a theme from the difficult cultures we have in South Africa. The songs were all south african and ranged from Blou Bulle to Ipi Tombi, Kaapse Klopse, Special Star, etc.
Kaylin's Potty Class did Bietjie, Bietjie Lam with Teacher Natasha. Kaylin came on stage dressing in a bright orange Tshirt and demin mini skirt and stood in line with her friends totally bewildered. I made the HUGE mistake of waving at her - she caught my eye and started howling. She spent the rest of her "Performance" nuzzled into Teacher Natasha's neck and drowned out the music with her screaching...poor wee mite was totally overwhelmed. She's still so wee. But nevertheless she tried!
Megan's Class did 'n Volkspele Medley with a Bollywood theme. The girls dressed in traditional saris with red dots on their foreheads and the boys in jeans with colourful cumberbands. Megan obviously refused to wear the sari (the tomboy that she is) but you know what, whatever makes her happy! They did a lovely little indian-type dance with lots of head bobbing and swishing around. Megan was a star as usual and knew ALL the moves backwards! She thoroughly enjoyed her performance and was so excited to be "a star" for the evening. I was so proud of her.

Reading, 'righting and 'rithmetic are the basics of good education.
They are the skills our minds will use to live a life of exploration.
For the future is filled with treasures far greater than silver or gold -
A wealth of knowledge to discover - the riches of wisdom untold.
So thank you, Teachers, for all you do, for laying a solid foundation,
For paving the path to all my tomorrows with hope in the next generation!
