A Colourful Lantern Festival Full of Music, Dance and Big Performances

This week, much of the Kindergarten was once again focused on preparing for our Lantern Festival. There was singing, dancing, rehearsing and, of course, plenty of excitement as everyone looked forward to the special evening.

The entire Kindergarten opened the stage programme together with the Twi song “Me kanea ketewa bi”. Afterwards, our dance group delighted the audience with an energetic choreography to Coldplay’s “A Sky Full of Stars”.

To close the programme, our preschool children took to the stage and presented their lovingly rehearsed St Martin play with great enthusiasm and visible joy.

For many of the children, performing in front of such a large audience also meant stepping outside their comfort zone. We are therefore especially proud of all our young performers, who rehearsed so diligently over the past weeks and showed great courage on stage.

A very special thank-you goes to Olivia Habtezggi and her team, who prepared and organised the Lantern Festival with great care, dedication and attention to detail. Their commitment could be felt in so many small and large aspects of the event and played a major part in making the evening so special for the children, families and guests.

We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our parents Miriam Böhme and Marlies Lauber, who prepared and organised the evening meal with great commitment. Their contribution also helped make the celebration such a warm and enjoyable community event.

And of course, throughout the week there was still plenty of time for learning, playing and laughing together.

We look back on a lively Lantern Festival filled with music, dance, theatre and many special moments. A more detailed report with further beautiful pictures will follow next week.
