English Festival (Updated!)

Last week the Samcheok Office of Education hosted an English Festival for all of the Elementary and Middle Schools.  This 3 day event was mainly a competition consisting of speeches, skits, and quiz games.  Our school participated in all of the events and Kate and I judged a few of the events as well.  All in all it was a fun few days and a nice break from being at school :).  Here are some pictures from the event.  For the full album visit this page.

I’m also in the process of uploading videos from the event.  They’ll be up soon. UPDATE: They’re up now!

As always - click the image to see a larger version.

This is MinJae - one of the students in our skit.  He’s amazing… and has the best smile around!

Our 2nd grader, Hanbit, reading an English story about his mom.  Be sure to check out the video of this… adorable.

This is Miguem.  Kate wrote about her speech a few weeks ago here. She did a great job!  Again - a video will be up soon. is here!

These little guys were from another school and they sang and danced to a song called “Do the Elephant!”.  Pretty amazing!!  Check out the video soon!

We did “Who’s on First” for our skit.  It was pretty great - at least we thought so.  They did a great job and I think they understood it which was great.  This is Who, What, and I don’t know - the players.

This is Jaeook and Minjae - the fans going to the baseball game.  They’re both really sweet boys in the 6th grade and they did a great job in the skit!

Throughout all of this - Kate was more nervous than any of the students.  But they all did a great job and Kate made it out alright too
