Drama

Drama is COMMUNICATION. Like all the arts, Drama allows students to communicate with and understand others in new ways. Perhaps more than any other art form, Drama also provides training in the very PRACTICAL aspects of communication so necessary in today's increasingly information-centered world. Students who have participated in Dramatic activities are less likely to have difficulty SPEAKING IN PUBLIC, will be more PERSUASIVE in their communications, both written and oral, will be better able to put themselves into others' shoes and relate to them, and will have a more POSITIVE, CONFIDENT SELF IMAGE. Participation in Dramatic activity requires SELF CONTROL and DISCIPLINE that will serve the student well in all aspects of life. Students in Drama will learn to WORK TOGETHER, to cooperate, to find the best way for each member of a group to contribute, and to listen to and accept the viewpoints and contributions of others. NO ART FORM IS MORE TRULY COLLABORATIVE. Drama is an important tool for preparing students to live and work in a world that is increasingly TEAM-ORIENTED rather than hierarchical.
Drama also helps students develop TOLERANCE and EMPATHY. In order to play a role competently, an actor must be able to fully inhabit another's soul. An actor must be able to really understand how the world looks through another person's eyes. This does not mean he must agree with every character. An actor can play Hitler without becoming a Nazi. But he cannot play Hitler without understanding his point of view, without empathy. In today's increasingly polarized and intolerant culture, the ability to understand others' motives and choices is critical. Drama can help build responsible global citizens. http://www.childdrama.com/mainframe.html

"Open Shut Them Song"

Fieldtrip to "El Remanso"

On Wednesday 31st, all Early Years went on a trip to "Club El Ramanso" located in Chosica. Beavers´ kids were singing on the bus, as soon as we got there they ate lunch, and then they enjoyed fun games with Miss Aida (running, jumping, clapping and more). Finally playground time came, and the kids had more fun.On our way back to school more than one kid felt sleep, I guess was lots of activities for a day.....but the most important was the fun time they share and enjoyed with all their friends and their teachers.
Here are some pictures from the trip.
