Guiding Scripture for the Week

PRAYING FOR WISDOM If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it

will be given to him. James 1:5

Book Week Costumes Book Week Costumes! Dressing up in your favourite characters, heroes, villains and even a book cover is so much fun! Our main focus this week is on Book Week. We hope you find the following ideas helpful in the making of the costume of your choice. Book week is a great opportunity for parents and children to brainstorm all sorts and types of costumes. Think about girls’ or boys’ and unisex costumes!   To some parents, this is the time to put their creative mind to work for others it is a dreadful or stressful moment but it doesn’t have to be. Costumes should be easy and enjoyable to make with your children. Think of all the characters in stories (from both African and Western authors) you or your child have read. Think of the movies that are made out of story books e.g. Jungle book, Babe, e.t.c. Better still, you could think of the history books  you have read of Ancient Egyptian mummies, pick out some characters, discuss with you child on how easy or hard it is to make that costume and eliminate those you and your child think are not easy to make. More so, think of the non-fiction personalities in stories that have interested the young and old: Aristotle and Scorates of Ancient Greece; Florence Nightingale (the lady with the lamp); Nelson Mandela of South Africa; Malala of Pakistan; Mahatma Gandhi of India; among others. How about dressing up like characters in Bible stories: Joseph and his coat of many colours; David with his sling; Miriam and a basket with Moses in it.  Most children enjoy reading books about their favourite sports personalities in: football, tennis, cricket, rugby, netball, etc. You are indeed spoilt by choice. What can you use to make your costume?

 WEEK'S MEMORY VERSE Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.                                                   1 Corinthians 6:19-20

HOUSE POINTS

Did you know?Did you know that you cannot talk and inhale or vice versa. When you speak, you will not be able to inhale. Give it a try?An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.Dreamt" is the only English word that ends in the letters "mt"

For our second term package, the drama club will have a greater part of its focus on traditional dances of the East African region. Oh yes ! something from Uganda, Kenya Tanzania and Rwanda. So watch the space for a night sky production of movement. Mrs. Amelia Chaka

Think of using any materials you can find at home like Manila paper, cardboard, straws, tin foil, disposable: cups, plates, spoons and folks. Children could wear oversized T-shirts or any of their parents’ clothes that they no longer use. Scarves, socks, hats, gumboots or wellingtons, caps or hats, banana leaves, reeds, straw/grass, tin foil, cereal boxes, tins, aprons among others. Wigs and weaves are great resources to make a costume. Oh, by the way, don’t forget make-up from moms. Who could I dress as? Imagine all the thousands of characters in books and movies, from hunters to the hunted. Fairy tales, fantasy, traditional, classics, myths, legends, true stories and many more. You could choose from Roald Dahl’s great stories or books like the Twits, Matilda, BFG, Fantastic Mr. Fox and so many more. You can dress up as Robin Hood, Cinderella, Kintu or any Kabaka/King or queen, servants, Gipiri and Labongo, evacuees from “The Railway Children’s, Tintin with Snowy, Alice in wonderland. I hope this gives you a range of ideas to choose from or to confirm your choice of costume.
