Great DAY! at TCI Summer Camp 3rd week

To say it is a great day is an understatement =)

I am thankful to be teaching kids and to have such loving and caring friends and family all around, to help kids find their voice, whether in music or in their daily lives. To have the courage to speak up and express themselves, and to communicate without fear.

Today, my thought of bringing a happy and positive energy to the kids, I suggested Serena's favourite song, Happiness, from You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown. When they were younger, Alexias had to take away the song from Serena as she was playing it so much, over and over again! =)

Even though we had never taught this song before, the universal message in the lyrics, the spirit of the innocence of Charlie Brown, the positive sounds of the melody, creates an instant connection with the kids and thus, makes learning the song so much easier and faster! Yes, it sounds great too!

This week is our 3rd week of our Summer Camp and we see a few more new students join up plus some of our regular Saturday classes students. =)

Aunty Flora began the classes with an half hour of beginners yoga and Alexias presented our new Summer camp theme song 'Summer is Fun' with the class.

SUMMER IS FUN!

Summer is here Summer is FUN

Summer is Love for Everyone! repeat 2 x

When the music starts to play

We all want to sing right away

Dance to the rhythm of the beat

Come On Everybody Move your feet!

Keeping it together Loving it forever

We can all have fun, under the sun!

Keeping it together Loving it forever

We can all have fun, cos You're the one!

The song was written three weeks ago by Alexias, Serena and TV, while I arranged the song and managed to get it ready for Camp! Hopefully before the end of Summer camp. I can get the kids to record the song. =)

Will be back later! Happy thoughts everyone!
