February
28, the Andalusia's day, is the day celebrated by all Andalusians and
as a custom everyone recreates typical and popular things of
andalucia.
In
our center we celebrate the Andalusia,s day with varied activities
and some of them we share with other centers of our town.For example,
the primary and infant education center "Los Alcalá Galiano"
accompanied us during various performances during the day. One of the
main customs of our day is the miller's breakfast, it is basically a
muffin with olive oil and chocolate. Students from all our center
made presentations about information about our day and their past,
there was also a poster contest on the day of Andalusia. They were
all great !!!. Later we all went to the gym to enjoy the rest of the
actuations . We were very nervous because we knew that behind these
performances there were hours and days of rehearsals by everyone and
we all wanted everyone to enjoy our performances and receive our
deserved applause.
The
first three performances were from acrosport. The first performance
was by third-year students, they were divided into three groups and
each of them carried a specific theme. the first group comprised only
of boys and was the "boss". in my opinion they was the
most fun because their dance was very strange and really with their
performance they made it known that they were the boss.
The
second performance was only girls, her theme was "the warriors".
I think it was the most prepared performance because they had a very
complicated dance since was a large number of girls.
Third
performance was mixed and its theme was sport. In my opinion they
were the ones that I liked least since their dance was simple and the
figures also, but anyway we enjoyed all those fantastic performances.
Later the Cantalenguas students performed, they sang three songs, one
of them in French, another in Italian and another in English. We all
could enjoy their voices and some even accompany them. At the end of
this performance the elementary and sixth elementary school students
came to visit us to see our performances and to play the Andalusian
hymn with instruments. They also made the effort to rehearse so that
we could enjoy the song like them from our performances.
Finally,
third-class students danced sevillanas, taking our rhythm and our
desire to accompany them applauding.In addition, they later joined to
dance with them, two of our teachers. It was a great day and very
fun.
There
was no better way to celebrate it than all together!
