For those of you who do not know a month ago I started teaching English to children aged 2-5 years old in Didache, the nursery/kindergarten attached to my church in Peru. It has been challenging so far and interesting, especially since in my third week of teaching I had to prepare an exam for them. Do not think I did my first exam until I was 10.
Anyway Didache have just celebrated their 9th birthday and yesterday (Saturday) there was a celebration which saw the kids sing and dance for their parents. It was a fun morning and great to see these wee kids on the stage doing their thing.

Not only do the kids learn English, but they are also learning Portuguese as well from a Brazilian who also goes to the church. So as well as having the kids sing in Spanish yesterday, they also sang in Portuguese and English. The 2-3 year olds sang Deep and Wide in Portuguese while the 4-5 year olds sang Happy Birthday in Portuguese. And then all ages together sang Happy Birthday in English - it was a struggle getting Didache in there during the practices but on the day we did it.

Then after the demonstration of their singing and dancing skills to the parents, it was time for Chicken, potatoes and corn which was lovingly prepared by members of the church including the pastors wife who also works at Didache.
