EY2 and Grade One Production Play

CAS Strand: Service

Over the course of 3 months (September to November) several students took part in helping with the EY2 and grade 1 play, called There’s a Sunflower in my Supper. At the start of September, we helped the children become more motivated and invested with the singing and dancing, and as it became closer to the final play performances, we helped with the rehearsals in the auditorium and managing the children on stage. (Anjelica) My personal interest for doing this CAS was because it stood out to me when I first heard about it as I love working with children and I thought it was exciting that they would create a very happy play for parents and our school community after the pandemic. (Daniella) My personal interest in completing this CAS was mainly the opportunity to become part of the community and being able to have the opportunity and experience to work with the children in that community. Throughout this CAS experience the learning outcomes demonstrating skills and recognizing the benefits of working collaboratively were addressed, this is because it was commitment, perseverance and was crucial that we showed up on the required days when practice or rehearsals were happening to show our dedication and commitment. It was also necessary to work collaboratively and make our presence useful, even if it was as simple as motivating the children to be brave but also make sure that they were behaving.The play was a success and I think the students who helped had a major impact on the outcome. We were able to successfully be a part of the process in creating the final play for an audience to watch.

Thank you, Anjelica, and Daniella
