WEDNESDAY, 06th December
2006
On the 16th December, 14 students from our college went over to Haresbrook Park
- a residential home for old people. The students were there to entertain the
old people and to spend time with them.
The day began with an air of excitement. The old people were all seated
expectantly in a lounge overlooking a beautiful lake - the show was about to
begin!
The first performance of the day was a solo from Wilson (A2). He sang a song by
the Beegees. The people seemed truly captured by him and his music - many
couldn't take their curious eyes off him!
Once Wilson had sung his song, we had a dance by 4 girls. The music and dance
were so lively that they got the people excited. One lady was so excited, she
began to dance on the couch!
After the dance, Keith (A2) sang a Chinese song. Despite not understanding the
lyrics, the people seemed to enjoy the mesmerising music. The song calmed the
people down and had them relax.
But they weren't calm for long because once Keith had sung his song, it was
time for Christmas carols. We had 6 different songs to sing. All of us stood
together in a circle and sang our hearts out. Wilson accompanied our singing
with music from his guitar. It was wonderful especially as we saw the people
joining in with us and getting into the Christmas spirit. The people all
enjoyed it so much that once we had finished singing all the songs, they asked
us to sing them all again!
The day ended with us having some tea with the old people. It was apparent that
all of them had had a good time- beautiful smiles from them was the proof.
Overall, all of us had a great, memorable day and we hope to go back one day to
once again bring smiles to their faces. |
