Mali's Big Day
Tuesday, February 16, 2010
It was a big day for Mali. She had been looking forward to it for a long time. Mali and all her Monkey friends were going to have a party. All the girls went round the forest finding flowers to tuck behind their ears and the boys even had a bath before the party was due to start.
Mali and the other girls had planned the party with lots of dancing and best of all yummy party food. They made yummy fruit smoothies and fruit kebabs and there were even little lolly bags for at the end of the party for everyone to take home.
When it was time to start, Mali put on the music and everyone started to arrive at the clearing in the middle of the forest. Everyone was very happy and excited - they were ready to play and have lots of fun.
First they played a running game where they had to race from one big tree around another and back again. They raced around until they all had to lie down and rest. Mali said to everyone "Let's play Simon Says! I'm it! Simon Says sit like this" said Mali as she put the soles of her feet together and her knees out and then raised her arms above her head and placed her palms together. All the monkeys did it really well.
"Simon say stand like a tree" said Mali as she raised herself up onto her feet and then placed one foot against the inside of her other leg and put her arms into the same position above her head.
"Stand like this" said Mali Only a few of the monkeys tried to stand like Mali was she was on one foot with her other leg up behind her back and holding her foot with her hand - there was a bit of giggling when one of the younger monkeys lost their balance. "I didn't say Simon Says Giggled Mali but there are too many of you to all be in! I choose you she said pointing at the little monkey who had fallen on the ground".
"ummm Simon says clap your hands" he said.
They all clapped.
"Simon says wag your tail like a dog" and they all did even though it looked very funny.
Simon says catch me if you can" he said as he raced off through the trees with all the monkeys chasing behind him. There was lots of giggling when he let himself be caught eating all the fruit kebabs.
Mali had a very big day full of lots of fun and laughter.
Mali Stands Still
Friday, February 05, 2010
For Mali the hardest thing in the whole world seems to be just standing still.
She likes to scamper around, fidget and giggle, not to stay still. But today Mali has promised her mum that she will take time to stand still for a few minutes.
Mali has thought about how she can stop and stand still and decided that the best way is to go somewhere quite. So Mali went to the glade in the middle of the forest where it is quiet and even the air is still. Then she decided to stand still like a tree.
So Mali took a few breaths to still herself and get calm and then she stood quietly with her feet together and shifted all her weight onto one leg and spread her toes to help her balance. Then she lifted her other leg and placed her foot against the inside of her other leg. She kept breathing very gently so that she wouldn't lose her balance and then she lifted her arms above her head and held her hands together.
mali managed to stand like that for a few minutes and then she did it again on the other side using opposite legs. mali decided that she did feel calmer for having stopped and standing still for a while and decided that she would try to stop and stand everyday just like a tree.
Mali knew her mum would be proud of her.
