| Night time rehearsal / mini party |
They absolutely love singing so it got them very excited, especially when I showed them it had actions. I spent a lot of my evenings with houses 7 and 8 just chilling out and chatting and playing music from my little Bluetooth speaker (one of the best things I ever bought). Once they knew it (and were walking around the village all the time humming or singing it non stop) we spent some evenings going over to the other houses to teach them too.
By mid week, wherever I walked I could hear kids singing "Shine..." it was everywhere... They asked me if they could perform it to the church on Sunday so I spoke tot he pastor and he said ok.
Last night after we made bracelets, I went to the big hall and started playing the song. They all flooded in to come and practice for the morning.
They sang it over and over, I made them do it without my help, without the music, and then made them get in positions and pretend they were in church. Then I just carried on playing music and they were all running around and dancing it was great haha.
So this morning I arrived early at the church. A few adults spoke to me and said
"so which kids are you taking up to perform" or
"are you taking a small group up? there's a lot of them!"
But I just said no and that I would be taking all of the kids to the front. They were all so excited and I wasn't prepared to pick and choose some and not others. So practically the whole village came up to the front and sang it brilliantly, very proud of them!
