Before Melanie arrived this morning we had a discussion as a group, sharing our ideas about magicians.
"He goes abrica-bunny" Chloe shared excitedly
"Magician wear black clothes" shared Jed
"They have white bits at the top and bottom of the wand" Isaac P shared with great detail.
Melanie arrive with lots of bags and suitcases, she set these up on our mat and childen gathered around to watch as she unpacked her magical equipment.
Melanie had a special friend packed in one of her cases, it was Harry Pott the rabbit. So children showed manaakitanga/care and respect as they gathered around and patted his Body.
The show started with a bang as the children said abracadabra together to turn a dove into a bunny, Harry Potter had a friend to keep him company for the show. Ribbons were pulled from any place imaginable, long pipes were taken out of her very own 'Mary Poppins' bag, some of Melanie's friends played tricks on her and the children worked together/mahi tahi to make fire and turned it into lollies!
The magic show was just magnificent, completely engaging every childs attention. Everyone watched with excitement as Melanie performed each magic trick, not able to anticipate what was going to happen. Gasps of excitment and laughter were heard throughout the Kindergarten, a sign of the humour and wonderment and awe that was found in each of the acts.
We cannot wait to see Melanie again!
