Today there was an emergency meeting in the school at 8.00 am to discuss the parents Evening which we are going to have tomorrow. I couldn't reach the school so early. It has been decided that this year the meeting shall take place separately in each group and not all the groups together like last year because some problematic parents create trouble and in turn corrupt the new ones too.
So, first a presentation of all the teachers will be done together in front of all the parents, then parents committee will be selected by the parents from amongst themselves and then the parents can go to their respective group rooms to discuss the curriculum with the group teachers.
Today we celebrated the famous Octoberfest in our group!
The children had been instructed beforehand to come to school in special Bavarian dress. However only about four children (and they were all boys), wore the Bavarian dress which is a lederhose or embroidered leather half pants which has straps and halters and is worn with a check full sleeve shirt underneath.
We sang the famous October fest song and ate a snack of pretzel and butter and apple juice which looked like beer to me!!! That was when Mgt was unknowingly going to give Fr butter to which he is allergic.
After the snacks Cl made brown paper hearts which the children decorated with white and blue crepe paper the official colors of Bavaria and glitter glue. Then we wrote their names on the hearts with white ink which looked like sugar icing and even attached the string to make them look like a real Octoberfest heart. The real October fest heart is actually a hard baked ginger bread on which designs and names are written with sugar icing and people wear it in their necks.
It was a lengthy activity and involved a lot of work but as usual Mgt didn't help us with it. She just made one child make this heart and stuck the decoration right on top of the child's name so for a long time afterwords we kept trying to find out whose heart was it...!
Day after tomorrow, the school staff is going to October fest party after school. We all are so excited. Earlier I had declined the offer of joining them as I neither had the Bavarian dress nor I drink beer but everybody told me that all this is not necessary at all; My and Mz too don't drink beer and plenty others don't have the dirndls too.
Although cheap dirndls for 100 Euros are available too but there really is no point on spending so much money on something which I will never use again in life.
