These are the photos from the church kindergarten. The children go from 8.30am - 4 .30pm. The ages are from infants until 5 years. Our church has 3 floors. The basement is the church and then floor 1 and 2 are the kindergarten. Floor 3 is for living quarters for the pastor. It was really fun being at kindy today when Chusok is beginning. The kids had a lot of fun singing and dancing. A Korean English teacher came for 3/4 of an hour and taught 3 classes. I went to her sessions and watched. She was very good with the kids, singing english songs and telling a short story. It looked very exhausting.
The teachers are getting the younger children to play a traditional game of kicking a toy as many times as possible.
The children wore their clothing with great pride. It was so colorful and fun to be around.
They got out a padded mat for some wrestling. I think it must be part of the fun and games at Chusok. Some of the kids went for it and missed the mat. Wouldn't like to see adults doing it.
The 3 teachers are doing a traditional dance for Chusok. After that we all got up and did it. I just hummed along as the words were a bit too hard for this kiwi girl.
The children love to wear the traditional clothing. They wear it on Lunar New Year in February and Chusok.
This wee boy was trying his best to kick the toy in a traditional Chusok game.
The young children in Hanbok looked so cute.
