Peter Pan

Tuesday (05/10/2010)

a) Welcome.
· Kwong Yong brought a storybook about a snail’s adventure. Yee Xuan brought a book about bunnies. It was a crafty storybook. Yesterday, I told the class that we would start Peter Pan. So, I gave them a choice to vote on which book they want to learn about today. More than 10 kids voted Peter Pan. Ay….ay…ay……class!
· We created a simple situation whereby our story-telling session is like a cinema. The kids queued up and each had to pay me RM1 as a fee to enter the story-telling Cineplex. Wow! The taller ones sat on the chairs while the shorter ones in front.

b) Peter Pan.
· I didn’t have the storybook. However, I printed colouring pages from the web and compiled them into a storybook. It’s quite good. J
· First, the characters were introduced.
· Wendy the sister of John and youngest brother, Michael. They are the children of Darling Family. Their parents were out for a party. These were happy kids who always imagined the adventure of Peter Pan. Peter Pan had been peeping them all the while without their knowledge. One day, his shadow flew into the room not wanting to co-operate with Peter. Peter had Tinker bell, the magical fairy to help searching. They were clumsy and the noise woke the kids up. Peter saw his shadow and chased it. It took some glue to stick but the kids laughed. Wendy volunteered to sew for him. Seeing her ability, peter invited them to Never-Never Land. The living beings there will never grow old and are always happy. John and Michael were excited but Wendy thought of the responsibility. Peter lured her with mermaids, pirates and magic and immediately, with Tinker Bell’s magical dust; they started floating and flying into the sky. Nana, their dog was barking as if it wanted to join them. Never-Never Land was very far. They had to travel pass the space to get there.
· When they reached there, they saw a wide blue ocean and some mermaids pulled Wendy’s dress wanted her to join in. Wendy was very pretty. At Peter’s home, he introduced his Lost Boys (6 of them) to them. Yeewww…..they were very dirty, smelly and naughty too. They wanted Wendy to be their mother. Wendy said “No” and they started sobbing. Feeling sorry for them, Wendy promised to tell them stories. Immediately, the Lost Boys loved their new guests. J
· The next day, peter showed the Darling kids around the Island. He told them to be careful with pirates especially Captain Hook. They went to visit their friends, the Red Indian colony. They were happy to see Peter and friends. Captain Hook had an idea to kidnap the Red Indian Princess. He tied her and placed her on a big rock. Captain Hook also tied the Lost Boys at the Red Indian Camp. Luckily, Peter Pan and Wendy peeped at him. Suddenly, Peter flew high in the sky and scared Captain Hook. He fought with him. Then, the hungry crocodile appeared. Captain was afraid of it and started to lose thoughts. He shivered. Peter Pan quickly rescued Princess Lily, the Red Indian Princess. Meanwhile, the crocodile chased Captain Hook who swam quickly to escape. The Lost Boys laughed at that sight. The kids in the class too. As I stopped telling the story, the kids pleaded me to continue. I promised I would tomorrow as it was time for playground.
