Dumbo

Friday (03/12/2010)

a) The Practice
• Today, we practised in the classroom as there was Wushu practice at the living room.
• The practice got better and better. The only challenge was having some kids being absent. Thus, I had to be the replacement. They were more independent.
• We talked about taking care of the props and where to place them after the musical performance.

b) Cartoon: Dumbo.
• As a reward, we watched Dumbo together. They were very happy. We watched half way through and shall continue with it again.
• The flying storks brought down babies for all the animals including to Mrs. Jumbo, a circus elephant. The baby had bih huge ears and all the animlas laughed at it. Mrs. Jumbo was crossed but she loved her baby so much that she called her Dumbo. The animals worked very hard to set up tents for circus. On the performance day, people laughed at Dumbo and Mrs. Jumbo got so mad that she attacked them. She was jailed and prisoned. Poor Dumbo was left alone. Everyone disliked him and a friendly mouse became his friend. Mr. Mouse motivated him that his ears were so special that they must be meant for useful matters. They brainstormed together. The clever Mr. Mouse pretended as the Ringmaster’s dream asking him to make Dumbo a start because of his big huge ears. The next day, Dumbo was made the main performer. It was supposed to jumped from a trampoline until the very top of the tent. However, as Dumbo was running, he stumbled on his huge ears and fell down, knocking over the other huge elephants. Everyone ran away and the tent collapsed……..to be continued.
