Reflection for the carnival

The carnival was a learning program for both the little ones from mareleng and both us the students. The carnival not only gave us the skills of working with the young kids from mareleng  but it also gave one the love for the profession that we are about to begin here UMP University of Mpumalanga. It was fun being in the playing ground or place with the children because that was where we could see the children play and have fun. The carnival was all about the kids and it also gave us a change to relive our childhood fix the problems and replay the moment we missed as children, with the help of the children from mareleng we played till we were tired and could not play anymore but still they wanted to play it was like they can’t stop playing.

We used materials which were good eye catching for the grade children to love and play with being the person who bring the happiness to their faces was one of my biggest achievement and I loved every moment of it. The art form has reinvented itself from being a service learning event to one that welcomes children of all backgrounds from across siyabaswa. The result of this is an amalgamation of the pupils at mareleng, races and backgrounds coming together under the umbrella of Carnival. It is amazing to see so many different children coming together to have fun, dance and celebrate all that Carnival has to offer.

The games became fun that all the groups ended up playing together with the children/pupils then from their we started singing and dancing while the children enjoyed them self and had a good time.

 

The carnival itself was a life time event for me because it was one of the biggest events of my life excluding weddings and funerals I had as much fun as the children of mareleng teaching school.
