Noche de talentos Talent Night

Last Friday, the 3rd, we had our Noche de Talentos, or Talent Night.

Kinder (aka Pre-school) class singing the insect version of Head-Shoulders-Knees and Toes

 It was a night filled with songs and a skit performed by students, teachers and community members.  The Salón Parroquial was filled with audience members from parents, to students from other schools and even a few tourists who popped by to see what all the commotion was joined the crowd.

Two colegio students performing a song by Coldplay

The ESI (Spanish as a Second Language) students performing their play

The finale, the teacher dance, aka Baile de las gringas, a melody of songs from the 50s-2000s

But for me, the highlight of the night was the 5th graders singing the school song.  The song is always sung in English and Spanish, but my students added a signed interpretation to the performance

The CEC Song

Up on a hill, there´s a school I know

Where the bellbird calls and the strangler fig grows

The mist is falling from the clouds above

A place where I learn, a place that I love

So come on up to the C-E-C

We love to sing out and be free to be

Que dicha que puedo aprender así

Come have some fun and learn with me

Me gusta jugar con computadoras

O irme buscando guayabas o moras

En la huerta encontramos más comida

Frutas de mi labor son pura vida

Look all around, if you can´t find me

Then look up here, get me out of this tree!

It´s out in the meadow by the soccer field

come see the tree house together we built

Es importante el ambiente cuidar

Los animales y la gente no debemos dañar

Es lindo por fuera y linda por dentro

Vengan todos a ver el Centro
