Dumbo

Dumbo

From the past few weeks, we learnt about Dumbo. The story 'Dumbo' is about a baby elephant called Dumbo (even though he's supposed to be called Jumbo Jr. or Baby Jumbo) that was separated from his mum, as Mrs. Jumbo (Dumbo's mum) attacked the people in the circus. However, Mrs. Jumbo was just trying to protect Dumbo from the people that were being mean to him and calling him names, that's why she ended up hurting the troupe members. Dumbo tried his best to get her back, with Milly and Joe's help. The two kids soon then found out that Dumbo can fly with his large ears, he got inspired to do this when Milly and Joe gave him a feather, he sniffed it, sneezed, and next thing the kids knew, Dumbo was flying. Medici and the other people of the troupe decided to include Dumbo in their next show, (they didn't know that Dumbo can fly that time) his role was to put out the fire that was set in certain places, but things went wrong. The platform went up in the air while Dumbo was on it, and the troupe couldn't put him back down. Gladly, Milly was on the rescue, she gave Dumbo a feather as she remembered Dumbo could fly just by sniffing a feather. Her idea was excellent, Baby Jumbo finally flew with his ears, the crowd was amazed. I think Dumbo will soon try to find his mum.

I enjoyed: Making the characters' names

What I would like to do differently: Put more details on what the animals in the circus can do to entertain the audience.

What I found interesting: Making the characters by tracing them

The Perfect Gift

For reading from the past few weeks, we have been doing a slideshow about our reading activities. We had to choose five activities out of the ten of them. The title of the story that we needed to do two weeks ago was "The Perfect Gift". It was about a man who worked from home, and a stray cat that found the right house that she needed because winter was there. But when the the cat had to move houses as spring was approaching, she tried her best to find the perfect gift for the man as the cat wanted to thank him for taking care of her, so she somehow came up with a brilliant idea on what to give the man instead of giving him fancy things that he didn't need to use because he was already rich.

What I found hard: Doing the 'Seeing Both Sides' activity
I found it easy: Getting all the facts of the characters in the story
I found it fun: Making the Pictures
