OPEN LETTER TO OUR ITALIAN PENFRIENDS: ENGLISH DAY MUSICAL THEATRE WORKSHOP

Dear penfriends, 

While we are waiting for your letters we want to tell you about the Musical theatre workshop we did on the school's English Day.

On the 15th of March we celebrated the English Day. 

First we went to the dining room and we met Maria, a professional dancing teacher. She told us to make a circle. Then she told us that we needed to warm up the body, the voice and the brain. She explained a little game called "Jump in. Jump out". It was very difficult and a lot of fun. We warmed up with different exercises.

After that she organized us in lines and later she taught us the coreography about the song "Happy" (6B) or the song "Don't start now" (6A). We chose the song in class many days before the English Day. Also we learned the lyrics and and we practiced singing it many times. 

Finally we had a chat with Maria and we asked her some questions. The class was very fun and Maria was very kind, polite and patient. 

Here are some videos where you can see us practicing and trying to do the choreography. It was difficult but we did it like professionals. 😅

English Day

El dia 6 d’abril va ser l’English Day. Es tracta de passar tot el dia parlant en anglès. Vam fer activitats relacionades amb alguns dels Estats Units d’Amèrica i que havien preparat els nostres companyes de sisè. Aquestes  són algunes de las activitats que vam fer: vam baixar al pati de bàsquet per jugar a encistellar, vam jugar al bingo, vam aprendre i ballar una cançó, vam fer un atrapa-somnis, etc.

Felicitats, companys de sisè, per aquesta bona feina que vau fer.

Ens van obsequiar amb dues sorpreses: una muffin de xocolata i una llaminadura!

LYRICS

Young man, there's no need to feel down.

I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.

I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town

There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a place you can go.

I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.

You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find

Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

They have everything for young men to enjoy,

You can hang out with all the boys...

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,

You can do whatever you feel...
