Dancing together apart

Years K – 6 Virtual Flash Mob Dance

This term Emanuel School came to a sudden stop. COVID-19 hit the world and all students were sent home to do online learning. We found ourselves alone at home without our friends and playtimes.

Years K-6 were not to be deterred. Mrs Segal came up with the idea to get us all involved in creating a Virtual Flashmob Dance as a way of bringing Emanuel Primary together whilst in isolation. With the help of Ms Nanwani, the IT Leaders, the PE department, the Madrichim and the House Captains we successfully pulled off this huge feat.

The Primary School community did not disappoint. We ended up getting so many entries. The IT leaders, under the wing of the incredible Ms Nanwani, worked tirelessly to edit the videos so that everybody who submitted a video doing the dance got a part in the big video.

Everybody that created a video and submitted it online, got a raffle ticket and 10 House points. The House with the most entries won 1000 House points. Congratulations Cowen, for your outstanding school spirit. The class with the most submissions earned themselves a Mufti Day – KH you’re our heroes. We also held a raffle for each submission and Alice Friedlander was the lucky winner of a canteen voucher.

This experience was amazing and we were blown away by how many students and even teachers got involved. We really feel that we have made Emanuel history. The Emanuel Community is never alone!

A huge thank you to Mrs Segal, Ms Nanwani, Mr Taylor, Mr Rabenda and Mr Lukins for creating this fun opportunity. Look out for the email later on today to see the finished product.
