Teacher's Day Concert

" All children please line up quietly and go to the hall. I repeat..." I heard the public announcement system. Cries of joy were heard throughout the classroom. Most of us were grinning like Cheshire cats. My class had been having a party. There were drinks and snacks. Tom had slipped on a empty packet of chips which someone threw on the floor.


We lined up outside the classroom chatting happily among ourselves. Mrs Fong brought us to the hall where we sat down. There were already many classes which were settling down. A teacher , Mrs Lim went onto the stage, telling us to settle down and keep quiet or the Teachers Day concert would not start.


Soon all the classes had settled down. The first show was our school choir singing the song, Let's get the party started. Their voices were beautiful and I enjoyed it a lot. Next, came a solo performance by Lydia Gei Min Zhen from our class,5.10. She played the piano. It was a really nice song.
Finally, for the finale, there will be a comedy act. Two boys wearing wigs and cheongsam were acting like girls. They were dancing like girls too! This item made everybody laughed. They were also so comical. They sang in a squeaky voice. My spectacles almost cracked. As they danced they knocked into each other. BONG!!! Teachers and students thought if was part of the play and started laughing uncontrollably, louder than before.
However, it was not part of the show. They started crying. When they got offstage, they felt very embarrassed. Everyone thought they did a good job making people laugh.
The master of ceremony came on stage telling everybody that it was just an act. Everybody clapped even louder. The show was a success.

"5.10 stand, go back to your classroom, 5.9 stand..." Mrs Lim said.
We got back to the classroom and threw away the rubbish on the floor. and cleaned up the room. Mrs Fong walked around the classroom inspecting everywhere. Then she dismissed us. We went home filled with happy memories.
