November was a month of performance for Amy. She delivered a
speech on her School Assembly. She participated in story telling competition at
school for children’s Day. She participated in action song during children’s Sunday
at church. And finally she did her very first dance performance at Don Bosco school
auditorium as part of John Britto Dance Co Climax 2018. Wow…She became busy than we are. My little
girl is growing.. J
Speech
It was on last of October I got a call from Amy’s
teacher,while I was at my office. She spoke to me and informed that Amy need to
tell a speech about Christmas on School Assembly and the matter is given to her.
I have to teach her. Evening I found a 5 sentence speech about Christmas attached
with her Diary. Since my in-laws was with us during those Days, Father –in-law
made some changes in speech and I started teaching her. I took almost a week to
make her by heart the speech and she delivered the speech on Nov 8th
. It was written in her diary that she delivered the speech very well.. J
Story Telling
It was during Term one assessment result announcement and
PTA, we were informed that there will be story telling competition as well as
clay modelling competition as a part of children’s day celebration. The child
can opt for either one of them and need to be informed by Nov 9th. I
opted for storytelling. She already knows the story of Lion and mouse. I
started teaching the same Story to make her by heart. We started our story
telling practicing after Nov 8th speech. Since she was very lazy, I need
to take stick to make her learn storytelling. Thus she learned her story with
action and participated in story telling competition on Nov 14th.
She told me in the evening that Teacher informed her that she will get a price.
But yet to get it. Still waiting.. J
Action Song
It’s been a month by Nov 11th that we went to
Garrison church. On nov 11th, Sunday school teacher informed me that
they are having children Sunday next week and kids had already practiced action
song. But Amy don’t know even the Song. Sunday school teacher informed me that
there will be practice on next Saturday evening by 5.30 and asked me to bring
her. I also got the song from her. Since Amy had storytelling on nov 14th,
my concentration was on making her by heart the story. Once it got over, I started
making her listen to the action ‘song’ played in youtube. But I don’t know the exact
action taught by her Sunday school teacher, so I just made her to listen to
song. Since Amy had Dance practice on Saturday evening, we were late to take
her to the church for action song practice and by the time we reached, kids had
already practiced the song. Teacher told me to bring her by 7.00 AM to church tomorrow.
By then she almost knows the song, but doesn’t know the action. Still we took
her to church by Sunday 7.00 Am and she do participate in action song standing
in the center of the front row of kids., doing whatever action she knows. But
it was really cute and nice. Love you my LADDUUUU.. J
Dance
I forgot to tell that Amy is going to Dance classes on
Saturday and Sunday . She is in John Britto Dance Academy. It is a reputed
dance company owned by Dancer John Britto. They have a yearly program on very
year end and this year program was arranged on Nov 25th Sunday
evening at Don Bosco School auditorium, Egmore. Even though she joined the
dance class 3 months back, and she don’t know most of the steps, her master(Sara)
let her participate in the annual event. Costumes are given a week before and all
is set. We took her to the auditorium for practice and she was excited to dance
in such a big stage. Finally, the day had come and we reached the auditorium.
The auditorium was crowed with kids and their parents from different JB Dance
schools across Chennai. Amy went to sit with her dance mates as informed by organizers.
I was little nervous, since it is a new place and fully crowded, so I took a
seat in such a way that I can always keep an eye on Amy. But she was very happy
sitting with her friends. After taking group photo, all the kids are taken to
gallery for sitting and watching. Once their time for performance arrive, they
will come to stage and perform. Since it is an open stage, all the lights will
be off while a new group get into stage for performance. I was very very
nervous thinking Amy is afraid of darkness and it is a new place and crowded.
But she went to stage and her group did a fabulous performance. After the performance,
they are taken by her master to gallery again and after few minutes, he
escorted all kids to their parents. Amy was so happy and excited… J
