Nellie the Elephant

Picasso Week at the Summer School

We were going to work on circus things. I tried to think of an English song to teach.
What about Nellie the Elephant?
And so the show began to take shape and in the end Nellie was the star!

Or one of them. Here is one little tiny student who walked on the red ball – The Ball Of Fire!!! – all the way to the trapeze and then amazed everyone with her high flying act
Picasso made plates at one stage of his life so we did too

And everyone managed to sing Nellie the Elephant in English while wheeling her around in a final parade as she said goodbye to the circus and trundled back to the jungle!

  1. I am trying to imagine your job title…Like Oreneta I love the plates, the thickness of the paint – yummy! My knees have been looking particularly elephant-ish these days *sigh*, I could have doubled for your Nellie!
