Performing Arts

In Performing Arts in the last few weeks, we have listened to the National Anthems of various countries in the Soccer World Cup. We have taken the opportunity to listen to music for a special purpose. We have also looked at the flags and discussed some little facts that we might know about each of these anthems and countries. 

In Foundation, we have been participating in drama games such as Charades, Hot seat, Good afternoon Sir, Mirror and Good Morning Margaret.
