I've Got the Magic Bean

Today we started our work on Jack and the beanstalk and created our opening scene:

Narrator: Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack who lived with his mother. They didn't have much; in fact all they owned was a milky white cow. Although one day Jack's mum had some bad news.

Mum: Our cow hasnt given us any milk for over a month now. Jack and I are starving, without milk we have no money for food.
(Jack enters from stage left)
Jack: I don't want to give up my cow, I love her. She's my friend and you can't sell a friend
(Jack then starts to sing you've got a friend in me)

Mum: Don't be silly Jack, a cow can't be your friend we don't have any choice.

Jack: But...

Mum: No buts...

Jack: (sighs)... I guess so

This was our opening scene for Jack and the beanstalk, after this we started to work on a market place scen which is when Jack meets the Bean man. We created the market place by making us all muchants trying to sell their iteams. We each create our own murchant who would walk around the stage shouting for attention and then going up to the audience to try and sell there goods until Jack walks on. all of us then charge at Jack so we could sell him our murchandise. Jack backs away into the Bean man who then sends us all away and then buys the cow for the magic beans. We then go into a song "I've got the magic" or as we have called it "I've got the magice beans" which we choreographed a dance for:

"I got the magic in me"= On the three beats of this line in groups we loung forward pushing our arms out
"Every time I touch that track, it turns into gold"= We step cross to left making a rainbow with our hands and then step turn to the left followed a in three groups rasing our hand on 3 seperate beats
"Everybody knows I've got the magic in me"= We do a step, click, bounce. followed by a step out then pivot to the back then to the front.
"When I hit the flow, the girls come snappin' at me"= We then slowly rais our arms then drop into the 'sprinckler' move ment starting right and then one on the left
"Now everybody knows I've got the magic"= We slowly movw into a circle

"Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic"= During this chorus we circle around Jack and the cow raising and lowering our arms
I got the magic in me"= We pose on the last beat of this line
