Chinese Assembly
n both the Grade 1 and Grade 3 Chinese assemblies, students used drama as a powerful way to tell stories, express feelings, communicate meaningful values, and raise awareness of local/global issues. They were fantastic communicators, speaking clearly and confidently. They not only knew what to say and how to say it, but they applied effective dramatic skills such as facial expressions and body movements. There were many artistic and aesthetic elements involved in the drama: Chinese paintings, calligraphy, costumes, Chinese music, songs, rap, poetry, dance‌ Each of these elements, traditional and current, were combined together to create a memorable feast of a performance for us all.

Drama Drama is more than a performance on the stage. It cultivates students’ creativity, imagination, and critical thinking skills. Drama teaches students empathy, to feel the on behalf of the characters, and teaches students courage to act out familiar and unfamiliar situations. Once again, congratulations to all the Grade 1 and Grade 3 students on the amazing Chinese assemblies brought to our Concordian community! Ms. Ariel PYP Vice Principal of Learning and Teaching
