"Ating Alamin Kulturang Atin"
A
beautiful day in such beautiful land! Last September 4, 2015, our Little
Crimsons had their very first fashion show presentation for the Buwan ng Wika
Celebration. As it is the pupils’ first time to celebrate and know the
Philippine Culture, our theme for this year is “Ating Alamin Kulturang Atin”.
We
are very proud to tell everyone that the Little Crimsons are mindful of what to
do when they hear “Lupang Hinirang”
our national anthem. Some of the pupils were even able to sing parts of the
song while some helps their other classmates with the proper stance. It has
been part of our routine for the whole month.
Little
Crimsons were able to play some well-known Filipino street games like “Limborak“ and “Chinese Garter“. The kids
really enjoyed playing them. Everyone was so excited about the game that they
all want to crawl and jump over the ropes at the same time but still they know
that they have to wait for their turn as this is what we practice in school.
They were all eager at the first round of the games and treat it like a piece
of cake but as they try the next levels, they’ll laugh and ask help from the adults.
The challenge goes on as the adults go in sync to carry the kids over the ropes
to get to the other side. Everyone went laughing.
Why
“fashion show” you may ask? Well, it is simply because The Philippines has
thousands of islands and through clothes, pupils can identify what a Filipino
would look like. The pupils were assigned to wear costumes of the northern and
southern part of the country. Some were wearing tribal and ethnic costumes and
thus, it made them all get excited about the performance.
Lastly,
the Little Crimsons danced “Kabataang Pinoy”. Well, they call it “Pinoy” and
honestly, the kids were doing great during the practices. Even some of the kids
that aren’t participating much were enticed dancing it. It was full of jumping
and hand movements that the pupils picked themselves.
