Ida-Maria says MY CHARACTER IS PANTALONE,
AND HE'S A VERY WEALTHY MAN
WHO LIKES TO TELL ARLECCHINO

I MADE PATTERN.
THEN I MEASURED MY PATTERN
TO MAKE SURE

AND THEN I TRACED IT
ONTO THIS MATERIAL

WHAT WE'RE GONNA USE.

BUT NOT ALL THE WAY.
AND YOU JUST PUT YOUR HAND
ON IT, IT'S JUST STICKY.

WOULD YOU SAY
YOU'RE A GOOD COOK?
Ida-Maria says I DO KNOW MY WAY
AROUND THE KITCHEN.

BECAUSE YOUR MOM IS HERE
TO HELP YOU MAKE
MIGLIACCIO POLENTA,
A SPECIAL ITALIAN DISH
FOR THE OCCASION.
I'LL CHECK IN
WITH YOU LATER.
Ida-Maria says BYE!
Ida-Maria stands in the kitchen with her mom.
Mom is in her late thirties, with long curly brown hair in a half-do and wears glasses, a gray sweater and a red and white gingham apron.
Ida-Maria says WOO HOO!
Mom says SO, WHAT ARE WE
MAKING TODAY?
Ida-Maria says WE'RE MAKING
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA.
Mom says THAT'S RIGHT.
AND DO YOU KNOW
WHAT POLENTA IS IN ENGLISH?
Ida-Maria says IT'S CORNMEAL!

Ida-Maria says IT WAS REALLY, REALLY FUN
TO MAKE MIGLIACCIO
DI POLENTA WITH MY MOM.

USING TODAY? DO YOU KNOW?
Ida-Maria says WE ARE GONNA BE USING
CORNMEAL,
SAUSAGE,
ROMANO CHEESE,
PARMESAN CHEESE,
PROVOLONE,
AND LARD.
THE FIRST STEP WE DID
WAS POUR SIX CUPS OF WATER
INTO A PAN AND LET IT BOIL.
ONCE IT WAS BOILED,
WE PUT THE CORNMEAL INSIDE AND
LET IT SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT.
WHILE WE WERE WAITING,
WE WERE CUTTING UP
THE SAUSAGES AND THE CHEESE.
Mom says THIS IS A TYPICAL DISH
AT CARNEVALE TIME,
BECAUSE IT IS VERY HEARTY
AND BECAUSE WE
GIVE UP MEAT FOR LENT,
THIS IS THE PART
OF YOUR FESTIVAL
THAT WE INDULGE IN THIS
PRIOR TO
THE 40 DAYS OF LENT.
Ida-Maria says LENT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU GIVE UP,
SO I'M GIVING UP POP
FOR LENT.
WE WAITED FOR THE POLENTA
TO BE READY.
WHEN IT WAS READY,
WE DECIDED TO GET MESSY
WITH OUR HANDS
AND DIP THE SAUSAGE IN
THE CHEESE WITH THE CORNMEAL.
AND IT WAS KIND OF
REALLY GROSS,
BUT I LOVE
GETTING DIRTY, SO.
AND THEN AFTER,
WE PUT IT IN THE OVEN
FOR 45 MINUTES.
Mom says SO, IDA-MARIA,
WHILE OUR POLENTA
IS COOKING,
WE'RE GONNA PLAY...
WHAT CHEESE IS THIS?
Ida-Maria says I WAS IN A BLINDFOLD
AND WE PLAYED
THE CHEESE GAME
TO SEE IF I KNEW
MY ITALIAN CHEESE.
The caption changes to "What cheese is this?"
Mom says TAKE ONE.
TRY IT.
Ida-Maria says HMM.
Mom says WHAT CHEESE IS THAT?
Ida-Maria says ROMANO.
Mom says BRAVA!
TRY THAT ONE.
AND WHICH ONE'S THAT?
Ida-Maria says THAT'S EASY.
IT'S PARMESAN.
Mom says LOOKING SHARP!
OKAY, LAST ONE.
TRY THAT ONE.
TRY IT.
WHICH ONE'S THAT?
Ida-Maria makes a funny face and says IT'S PROVOLONE.
Mom says YOU ARE A TRUE ITALIAN.
Ida-Maria says SI.
Mom says DAMMI CINQUE!
Ida-Maria says GRAZIE!
They high-five.
Ida-Maria says I'D SAY I WAS PRETTY MUCH
A SUCCESS
BECAUSE I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT.
THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW
I'M A TRUE ITALIAN.
Mom says TA-DA!
YOUR FINAL PRODUCT.
Ida-Maria says FOR MY FIRST TIME MAKING IT,
IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD!
I THINK I DID A WONDERFUL JOB.
LET'S GO PREP
FOR MY PARTY TOMORROW.
Mom says LET'S GO.
Ida-Maria says I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO SHARE THE MEAL
WITH MY GUESTS
AND GABRIEL TOMORROW,
BECAUSE I THINK
HE WON'T STOP EATING IT.
I THINK HE'S REALLY
GONNA LIKE IT.
(KIDS GIGGLING)

The girl says NO, I LOVE SUSHI!
I WOULD BEG YOU TO MAKE SUSHI
EVERY LUNCH AND DINNER.
Emily says GABRIEL AND IDA-MARIA HAVE BEEN
BUSY CRAFTING THEIR COSTUMES
AND COOKING UP A STORM.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
FOR THE CARNEVALE EVENT!

SURPRISE,

Gabriel says OKAY, OKAY!
Ida-Maria says GO, GO, GO!
FASTER,

Everyone laughs.
Gabriel says I'M PRETTY SURE,
BASED ON THEIR EXPRESSIONS,
THEY JUST LOVED IT
AND DIDN'T WANT
TO STOP LAUGHING.
Ida-Maria says THANK YOU.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Emily says THAT WAS SO GOOD!
SO GOOD.
Ida-Maria says I THINK WE WERE
A PRETTY GOOD HIT.
Gabriel says I HAVE TO AGREE.
They cut the cake.
E ARE YOU GUYS
ENJOYING THE PARTY?
Ida-Maria says YEAH.
Gabriel says YEAH!
Emily says GABRIEL, WHAT HAS BEEN

I REALLY LIKED THE FOOD
AND THE GAMES,
BUT MOSTLY THE FOOD.
Emily says MOSTLY THE FOOD?
ME TOO.
AND IDA-MARIA,
HOW IS GABRIEL DOING
AS YOUR GUEST?
Ida-Maria says HE'S DOING SO GOOD.
I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU.
AND YOU REALLY ACTED
LIKE A TRUE ITALIAN!
Emily says I'M HAVING SO MUCH FUN
AT THE PARTY,
I DON'T WANT IT TO END.

Ida-Maria says YEAH.
Gabriel says YEAH.
Emily says OKAY. WELL, LET'S GO.

(HOUSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Ida-Maria says THE BEST PART

AND GETTING TO TAKE SELFIES
WITH EMILY.
(CAMERA SHUTTER SNAPPING)
Gabriel says THERE'S NO WORD
TO EXPLAIN IT.
IT'S JUST AWESOME.
Ida-Maria says MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

THE BEST EXPERIENCE EVER.
I HAD SO MUCH FUN PLAYING
WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
I REALLY ENJOYED SHARING
MY CARNEVALE PARTY WITH GABRIEL.
Emily says WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PARTY!
THE MASKS, THE COSTUMES,
THE COMMEDIA!
I LAUGHED, I CRIED,
AND I ATE.
WHAT COULD BE MORE FUN
THAN CELEBRATING WITH NEW
CULTURES AND NEW FRIENDS?
EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT!
NOW, I THINK I HAVE ROOM
FOR ONE MORE POLENTA.
SEE YOU NEXT TIME, BYE!
The kids throw confetti up in the air and shout IT'S MY PARTY!
(CHEERING)
The show ends and the end credits roll.

Miss K holds a storybook and says HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A CELEBRATION
WHERE PEOPLE HAVE FUN
AND GATHER TOGETHER?
TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE READING THE
BOOK CALLED
MALAIKA'S COSTUME.
AND THIS IS BY A CANADIAN AUTHOR
NAMED NADIA HOHN.
AND IN THIS STORY,
IT'S ABOUT A YOUNG GIRL
WHO WANTS TO JOIN CARNIVAL.
SHE WANTS TO DRESS UP
IN A COSTUME
AND DANCE AND SING MUSIC
AND JOIN OTHER PEOPLE
IN CELEBRATION.
HER MUM USUALLY LIVES
WITH HER,
BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY
IN CANADA,
MAKING MONEY AND SENDING MONEY
TO HER FOR HER COSTUME.
SO, TODAY WE'RE GONNA READ
TO FIND OUT ABOUT YOUNG MALAIKA
AND HOW SHE'S ABLE
TO JOIN CARNIVAL
AND CREATE A COSTUME TO WEAR.
AND AS WE READ TODAY,
WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING
IS WE ARE GONNA BE MAKING
CONNECTIONS TO OUR OWN LIVES.
SO, JOIN ME
IN READING
MALAIKA'S COSTUME.
A caption reads "With permission of Groundwood Books."
She reads the story and says "I CLOSE MY EYES AND DANCE.
"I AM A BEAUTIFUL PEACOCK.
"EACH FEATHER SHIMMERS-- GREEN,
GOLD, TURQUOISE AND BROWN.
"GRANDMA SAY, 'GIRL, I THINK YOU
IS DEFINITELY
"MY GRANDDAUGHTER FOR TRUE.'
"THIS IS THE FIRST CARNIVAL TIME
WITH MOMMY GONE.
"'SHE IN CANADA,'
UNCLE EWARD SAY.
"'CANADA'S A PLACE WHERE
SHE CAN GET A JOB.
"SHE GOING TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE
FOR YOU AND GRANNY.'
"CANADA IS COLD LIKE AN ICEBOX
"AND SOMETIMES THEY CALL SNOW IS
ON THE GROUND, MUMMY TELL ME.
"SHE TELL ME PICTURES, TOO.
SHE SEND ME PICTURES, TOO.
"THE SNOW LOOK LIKE
COCONUT SKY JUICE.
"SHE SAY THAT
CHILDREN PLAY IN IT,
"AND BUILD MAN WITH IT.
WHAT A STICKY MESS!
"IF THERE'S SO MANY JOBS
IN CANADA,
"HOW COME GRANDMA AND I
HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG,
"LONG FOR THE MONEY?"
"MUMMY SAY SHE WOULD
SEND TO ME MY COSTUME.
"SHE WOULD MAKE ME MY COSTUME.
"CARNIVAL SOON COME,
"AND EVERYONE GETTING
THEIR COSTUMES READY.
"MICHAEL AND JUNIOR
ARE PLAYING JAV MOLASSIE
"IN THE KIDDIE CARNIVAL."
AND SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU
WHO DON'T KNOW
WHAT KIDDIE CARNIVAL IS,
IT IS ALSO A CARNIVAL
FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
WHERE THEY DRESS UP
IN COSTUMES AND HAVE FUN.
"THEY WEARING BRIEFS
AND BLUE PAINT.
"RAVINA AND SHELLY
ARE RED HIBISCUS."
WHICH IS A FLOWER.
"THEY WEARING THEIR SARIS
AND LOOKING LIKE BRIDES.
"MALCOLM AND MARCUS
ARE STILT-DANCING,
"(UNCLEAR).
"THEY LOOK LIKE GIRAFFES.
"EVEN THE JOHNSON BABY, IVAN,
"HAS A PIRERO COSTUME.
"HE'S STILL CRAWLING. EVERYONE
PRACTICED THEIR DANCE MOVES,
"EVERYONE EXCEPT ME. I DON'T
FEEL LIKE DANCING ANYMORE."
SO, AS I READ THIS PAGE,
IT ACTUALLY REMINDS ME
OF A TIME WHEN I USED TO
PARTICIPATE IN CARIBANA
AND ALSO KIDDIE'S CARNIVAL
WHICH HAPPENS IN TORONTO.
AND IN THIS PARADE,
PEOPLE DRESS UP IN COSTUMES,
THEY DANCE, THEY SING,
THEY HAVE FUN,
AND THEY ALSO TELL STORIES
THROUGH MOVEMENT.
THROUGH DANCE AND MUSIC.
SO, EVERY YEAR, THERE ARE ROADS
FULL OF PEOPLE
THAT ARE EATING, THEY'RE MOVING,
THEY'RE SINGING,
THEY'RE HAVING FUN
IN THE STREETS,
JUST LIKE THE VIDEO
WE SAW EARLIER IN CARNEVALE.
SO, I'M GONNA ASK YOU
TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT CONNECTIONS
YOU MIGHT MAKE TO THIS PAGE?
DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF
SOMETHING THAT YOU CELEBRATE?
"TODAY A LETTER COME, BUT AFTER
GRANDMA OPEN IT,
"SHE LOOK SAD.
"I JUST KNOW WHAT
THE WRITING SAY
"AND BIG TEARDROPS
ROLL DOWN MY FACE.
"GRANDMA GO TO HER ROOM.
SHE COME BACK WITH AN OLD
"RED CARDBOARD SUITCASE
THAT I NEVER SEE BEFORE.
"SHE PULL OUT
A GREEN AND PURPLE COSTUME
"COVERED IN GOLD SEQUINS
AND DANGLING RIBBON.
"'THIS WAS MY CARNIVAL COSTUME
WHEN I WAS A GIRL.'"
"GRANDMA MADE ME PUT ON THE
TIRED COSTUME.
"IT SMELT FUNNY, AND IT DUSTY.
"THE COSTUME SQUEEZE MY BELLY
"AND SOME OF THE
SEQUINS FALL OFF.
"I FEEL HOT AND ITCHY.
"'GRANDMA, I DON'T LIKE IT.
"'I WON'T WEAR
THIS TERRIBLE THING,' I SAY.
"AND WITH THAT, I PULL OFF
THE COSTUME, HEARING IT RIP.
"I RUN, RUN, RUN
WITH MY HOT, DRY FEET."
SO, AS I LOOK AT
THIS PART IN THE STORY,
THIS REMINDS ME OF A TIME
WHEN I WAS REALLY YOUNG
AND MY OLDER COUSINS
WOULD GIVE ME
SOME OF THEIR OLD CLOTHES
TO WEAR,
BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER
COULD WEAR IT. THEY OUTGREW IT.
SO, I WAS ACTUALLY GIFTED
THOSE CLOTHING...
THAT CLOTHING...
FOR ME TO WEAR
BECAUSE IT WOULD FIT ME.
SO, AS YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS PART IN THE STORY
AND YOU LOOK AT THESE IMAGES,
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT CONNECTIONS YOU MIGHT MAKE.
"I PASS TWO GOATS
DRINKING FROM A PUDDLE.
"I PASS A FEW NEIGHBOURS' YARDS.
"MR. DA SILVA,
MS. BLAKE, PASTOR SIMMS,
"AND I PASS
THE CLAP-HAND CHURCH
"WHERE GRANDMA
SOMETIMES TAKES ME.
"I SEE THE OLD MEN IN FRONT
OF THE LITTLE SHOP.
"ACROSS THE STREET I SEE
MENELIK THE RASTAMAN,
"WHO SELL US THE CASSAVA CHIPS
AND JELLY COCONUT
"THAT I LIKE SO MUCH.
"I ALMOST REACH
THE OBEAH LADY'S OLD HOUSE
"AT THE END OF THE STREET."
"I STOP. I DON'T KNOW
WHERE ELSE TO GO.
"THEN I BEGIN TO HEAR A SONG
THAT I KNOW.
"IT'S PLAYING ON SOMEONE'S
STEREO. IT GOES..."
The song goes I STARTED TO BEAT PAN
AT THE AGE OF SIX
MY GRANDMOTHER TELL ME
IT IS TRUE WE ARE POOR,
BUT WE HAVE DIGNITY
She says "THIS IS ONE OF GRANDMA'S
FAVOURITE KAISO SONGS.
"I RUN TO MS. CHIN, THE TAILOR...
"THE TAILOR LADY ACROSS THE
CORNER.
"'DO YOU HAVE ANY
THROWAWAY CLOTH?
"I JUST NEED A FEW RAGS,' I SAY.
"'CHILE, IS GRANNY MAKING YOU
SOME MORE DOLLS?'
"SHE ASKS IN HER SINGSONG
KIND OF VOICE.
"I THINK ABOUT MY
TWO PRETTY RAG DOLLS,
"CEECEE AND DEEDEE,
SITTING ON MY BED.
"'NO, MA'AM.
FOR A SURPRISE,' I SAY.
"MS. CHIN TURN AROUND
AND GO INTO A ROOM.
"SHE COME BACK
WITH A BIG RED PLASTIC BAG.
"IT FLOWING OVER WITH PIECES
OF RIPPED-UP CLOTH,
"ALL IN DIFFERENT COLOURS.
"I SMILE. 'THANK YOU, MA'AM,'
I SAY,
"AND THEN I RUN
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME.
"I BANG THE DOOR OPEN.
"'GRANDMA, GRANDMA,
GUESS WHAT I FIND?' I YELL,
"WHILE HOLDING THE HANDLE
OF THE BAG TIGHT.
"'SHHH. HUSH, CHILE,'
GRANDMA SAY.
"SHE LOOK AT ME WITH A SAD FACE,
THEN I START TO CRY.
"'I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO
RUN OFF AND SAY THOSE THINGS.'
"'ALL RIGHT, MALAIKA, YOU DO
BETTER NOW.' SHE SMILE.
"'NOW, WHAT YOU BRING?'
"I SHOW HER THE BAG OF CLOTH
"AND I SMILE
WHEN I TELL HER MY IDEA.
"THEN IT'S GRANDMA'S TURN TO
SURPRISE ME.
"WHILE I RAN AWAY,
SHE FIX THE COSTUME
"AND WIPE IT CLEAN
WITH SOAP AND ROSEWATER.
"THEN SHE SPRINKLE A LITTLE BABY
POWDER INSIDE
"SO IT SMELL SWEET AND FRESH.
"I SEE THE CLEAN COSTUME
HANGING ON THE CLOTHING LINE,
"DRYING IN THE SUN.
"'IT SMELL NICE, GRANDMA,'
I SAY.
"'WELL, MY DEAR," SHE SAY.
"'WHAT WILL YOU BE THIS YEAR?'
"'A RAINBOW PEACOCK
LIKE THE ONE IN MY DREAM.
"THE HEAD WILL BE SHINY
"AND PROUD AND STRONG,' I SAY.
She shows a picture in the book that depicts grandma helping Malaika make her costume.
Miss K says "I FIND TINY TURQUOISE, GREEN,
GOLD AND BROWN BUTTONS
"IN GRANDMA'S SEWING BOX TO GLUE
ON TO MAKE THE HEAD.
"I FIND TWO CLEAR BUTTONS FOR
THE EYES.
"THEY LOOK LIKE
SPARKLING JEWELS.
"'THE BODY, ROUND AND FULL
OF BRIGHT FEATHERS, GRANDMA.'
"WE RIP, RIP, RIP SMALL PIECES
OF THE COLOURFUL CLOTH
"AND THEN TIE THEM ONTO THE BODY
OF THE COSTUME.
"'OOOH, RED CHIFFON,
BLUE SILK,
"'JADE LACE, PURPLE RIBBON,'
GRANDMA WHISPER.
"THE WORDS SOUND LIKE MUSIC
TO MY EARS.
(READING ALOUD)
(CHUCKLING)
"WE GLUE, SEW, AND TIE THE CLOTH
ONTO THE BODY.
"GRANDMA EVEN HELP ME
MAKE CUFFS FOR MY ARMS
"OUT OF COPPER CLOTH
SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WINGS.
"I TWIST IN SOME GOLD WIRES
TO ADD EXTRA FEATHERS."
SO, AS I LOOK AT THIS PAGE
AND I THINK ABOUT
GRANDMA AND MALAIKA,
THIS REMINDS ME OF CARIBANA
AND MAS CAMPS.
SO, MAS CAMPS IS A PLACE
WHERE YOU WOULD GO
TO PICK UP YOUR COSTUME
BEFORE A PARADE
AND YOU WOULD SEE PEOPLE
THAT ARE MAKING
AND DESIGNING COSTUMES
THAT LOOK VERY DIFFERENT.
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS A STORY
THAT IS TOLD.
AND THIS REMINDS ME
VERY MUCH
OF THOSE CAMPS THAT I'D GO TO
IN THE SUMMER.
SO, AS YOU LOOK
AT THIS PAGE,
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT THIS REMINDS YOU OF.
LET'S IMAGINE THAT WE ARE
FASHION DESIGNERS.
AND WE'RE GONNA CREATE
A COSTUME FOR MALAIKA.
BUT FIRST, LET'S LEARN
A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHAT
FASHION DESIGNERS DO.
A little blond girl says HI, I'M TASHA.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I'D BE A FASHION DESIGNER!
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
A song plays that says IMAGINE, IMAGINE
IMAGINE POWERFUL
IMAGINE COLOURFUL
IMAGINE MAGICAL
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
The name of the show reads "Can you imagine that?"
The caption changes to "Starring Tasha."
Tasha draws on an easel and says HI, I'M TASHA.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I'D BE A FASHION DESIGNER.
A FASHION DESIGNER
USES THEIR CREATIVITY
TO IMAGINE WHAT CLOTHES
COULD LOOK LIKE,
AND THEN MAKES THEM.
MY FAVOURITE THING TO CREATE
WOULD BE PARTY DRESSES!
In animation, Tasha creates different party dresses.
(LAUGHING)
She says I WOULD MAKE MY DRESSES
ALL DIFFERENT SHAPES
AND COLOURS.
FIRST, I WOULD DRAW WHAT I WANT
THE DRESS TO LOOK LIKE.
THAT BECOMES
MY PAPER DESIGNER PATTERN.
TIME TO GET TO WORK!
I ADD A BIG,
BLUE CIRCLE HERE
AND SOME YELLOW TRIANGLES
OVER HERE.
HMM.
MAYBE I NEED
A BIT OF PURPLE.
AHA!
She adds a butterfly to her dress and says PERFECT!
NOW THAT I HAVE A PATTERN,
IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE DRESS
USING DIFFERENT FABRICS.
I'D USE A MEASURING TAPE
TO MEASURE HOW BIG A PIECE
I NEED TO MAKE THE DRESS.
NINE, TEN,
11, 12 CENTIMETRES.
I'D CUT OUT
ALL THE PIECES FIRST.
THEN I WOULD
SEW THEM TOGETHER.
WHEN MY DRESS IS DONE,
I'LL TELL EVERYONE
TO CLOSE THEIR EYES.
THEN I'LL SHOW EVERYONE!
She models the dress and says TA-DA!
EVERYONE WOULD SAY,
"WOW, THAT DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL!
"CAN YOU MAKE ME ONE TOO?"
AND SO I'LL MAKE
A WHOLE BUNCH.
MY COUSIN WOULD WANT
AN ORANGE DRESS.
MY FRIENDS CLAIRE AND MARGOT
WOULD WANT YELLOW AND BLUE
STRIPED DRESSES.
I'D ALSO MAKE
CLOTHES FOR PETS.
(LAUGHING)
I'D MAKE DOG COATS THAT
KEEP THEM WARM IN THE WINTER.
She makes a hot dog bun coat for her wiener dog.
She says AND HATS FOR CATS!
IF I WAS A FASHION DESIGNER,
I'D HAVE MY VERY OWN STORE.
I'D SELL ALL MY DESIGNS
AND DRESSES.
IT WOULD BE A BUSY
AND FUN PLACE.
I LOVE BEING
A FASHION DESIGNER!
A song plays that goes CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE
CAN YOU IMAGINE THERE'S
A WORLD FULL OF FANTASY
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT LOTS
IT BECOMES SO REAL
DID YOU KNOW, DID YOU KNOW,
DID YOU KNOW
THAT YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO
IMAGINE THIS OR THAT,
THINK OF SOMETHING NEW
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE
A THING OR TWO
ANYTHING YOU WANT,
IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
Tasha says I'M TASHA
AND I'M A FASHION DESIGNER.
IMAGINE THAT!
The end credits roll.
(BLEATING)
Miss K keeps reading Malaika's story and says "I CAREFULLY PULL
THE PEACOCK BODYSUIT ON.
"THEN GRANDMA PUT ON
MY PEACOCK HEAD, JUST SO.
"I LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
"THE COSTUME FIT ME AND I SHINE
FROM HEAD TO TOE.
"'WHO LOOKING SO LOVELY?
"'GIRL, THIS COSTUME LOOK
BETTER THAN EVER,'
"GRANDMA SAY,
AND SHE IS RIGHT.
"I AM EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN THE PEACOCK IN MY DREAMS.
"THE NEXT MORNING,
I JUMP OUT OF BED.
"'IT'S TIME, GRANDMA,
IT'S TIME!'
"I PUT ON THE COSTUME AGAIN,
REAL SLOW.
"BUT THEN I START
TO FEEL BAD.
"IT WAS MUMMY WHO USED TO HELP
DRESS ME FOR CARNIVAL.
"'GRANDMA, CAN WE TAKE
SOME PICTURES TODAY?
"'I WANNA SHOW MUMMY.'
"'OF COURSE, CHILE. YOUR MOTHER
WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS THIS
"'AND SHE WOULD BE SO PROUD YOU
MAKE YOUR COSTUME,' SHE SAYS.
"GRANDMA TAKE ME TO THE STREETS
OF (UNCLEAR) CARNIVAL PARADE,
"WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE ARE
BOUNCING AND DANCING
"TO THE MUSIC.
"SOKKA AND CALYPSO RHYTHMS
"FILL THE STREET.
"I SEE MISS CHIN.
"'WOW! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE,
"YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, DARLING!'
SHE SAY.
"'WHO IS THAT COMING
DOWN THE ROAD?
"CARNIVAL QUEEN?'
UNCLE EWARD LAUGHS.
"I MARCH OUT TO THE FRONT
LIKE A PROUD PEACOCK.
"I TURN AROUND AND I DANCE,
DANCE, DANCE."
The story ends.
Miss K says SO, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED
THAT STORY,
MALAIKA'S CARNIVAL.
SO, TODAY WE HAVE
SO MANY DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS
THAT WE MADE TO OUR PERSONAL
LIVES IN THIS STORY.
SO AS WE CAN SEE,
SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
CELEBRATE,
AND THEY CELEBRATE
THROUGH MUSIC, THROUGH DANCING,
AND THEY CELEBRATE SOMETIMES
IN THE STREETS.
SO, JUST KIND OF LIKE
CARNEVALE AND CARNIVAL,
WE SHARE THIS STORY
TO KINDA SHARE WITH YOU
WHAT ARE SOME
DIFFERENT CELEBRATIONS
THAT CAN HAPPEN AROUND THE
WORLD, INCLUDING IN TORONTO.
SO, WE'RE GOING TO...
ACTUALLY AT THIS POINT
IN TIME,
WE ARE GOING TO DESIGN
A COSTUME FOR MALAIKA.
The caption changes to "Primary 1-3. Design challenge."
Now Miss K stands next to a sketch of a mannequin.
She says SO, WHAT MIGHT WE DESIGN
FOR MALAIKA'S COSTUME
THAT SHE CAN WEAR
FOR CARNIVAL?
WE'RE GONNA TRY AND DESIGN
SOMETHING FOR HER.
SO, I DREW A MANNEQUIN.
MUCH LIKE THIS,
AND THIS WILL BE MALAIKA.
SO, THIS IS OUR MANNEQUIN.
AND THAT IS
GOING TO BE MALAIKA.
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY
CREATE A COSTUME FOR HER.
AND TYPICALLY,
WHEN FASHION DESIGNERS CREATE
A DESIGN FOR A COSTUME,
THEY USUALLY WILL HAVE TO HAVE
A PLAN IN PLACE BEFORE.
SO, WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY
DRAFT A PLAN
TO SEE WHAT WE CAN CREATE
FOR HER.
SO, I'M THINKING
IT MIGHT BE A PEACOCK,
SO I THINK I'M GONNA GO WITH
THE COLOURS PURPLE AND GREEN.
ALL RIGHT.
SO, I'M GOING TO KINDA CREATE...
ALMOST LIKE A CORSET
AT THE TOP.
MIGHT BE GREEN.
AND THEN WE'LL GO...
I WANT IT TO LOOK
ALMOST FAIRY-LIKE,
SO I'M GOING TO USE PAPER
AND SCRUNCH IT A BIT,
AND CREATE A SKIRT FOR HER.
AND TYPICALLY WHEN WE THINK
ABOUT CARNIVAL,
THERE ARE A LOT OF FEATHERS
THAT WE USE,
SO I'M GONNA DRAW A FEW FEATHERS
AT THE BACK OF HER COSTUME.
SO, IT KINDA LOOKS
LIKE A PEACOCK.
ALL RIGHT.
AND I'M GONNA WRITE DOWN
WHAT IT IS THAT I HAVE CREATED.
SO, I AM GOING TO LABEL.
SO, THIS IS THE CORSET...
AND I DID A SKIRT.
THEN UP TOP
WE HAVE SOME FEATHERS.
AND THEN WE KNOW THAT THIS IS
"MALAIKA'S COSTUME."
OKAY, SO WE HAVE
A PLAN IN PLACE,
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS WE ARE GONNA TRY AND CREATE
A DESIGN FOR MALAIKA.
I'M GONNA PUT A BELT.
AND WRITE "BELT."
SO, WE'RE GONNA TRY AND CREATE
THIS COSTUME FOR MALAIKA
USING SOME THINGS
THAT I FOUND FROM HOME.
ALL RIGHT,
SO NOW WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY
TRY AND MAKE A COSTUME
FOR MALAIKA
USING THE MATERIALS
THAT I FOUND AROUND MY HOME.
SO, I FOUND FEATHERS,
ALONG WITH SOME TWIST TIES...
I HAVE TISSUE PAPER.
SOMETIMES WE USE THEM
FOR PRESENTS.
I HAVE RIBBON,
AND I ALSO HAVE...
SOME BUTTERFLY CLIPS...
AND SOME PAPERCLIPS.
AND I'VE ACTUALLY USED
THE SPOOL FOR MY RIBBON.
SO, I'M GONNA USE
THIS AS WELL.
Now she uses a 3-D figurine to make the costume on and says ALL RIGHT.
SO, NOW WE'RE GONNA TRY AND
CREATE A COSTUME FOR MALAIKA,
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE
ARE SOME FEATHERS AT THE BACK,
SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS I'M GONNA TAKE THE RIBBON,
I'M GONNA FOLD IT IN HALF,
AND I'M GONNA FEED IT THROUGH
THE LITTLE HOLE IN THE SPOOL
AND PULL IT TO THE BACK.
USING MY SCISSORS...
AND YOU GOTTA BE VERY CAREFUL
WITH THE SCISSORS...
I'M GONNA MAKE SOME HOLES...
AT THE TOP OF MY SPOOL.
AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE
SOME HOLES THAT ARE THERE.
AND IT DOESN'T
HAVE TO BE PERFECT.
SO, THE COLOURS THAT I WANNA USE
IS I WANNA USE SOME PURPLE...
AND I'M GONNA STICK
THE FEATHERS AT THE BACK.
SOME GREEN...
MAYBE EVEN SOME PINK.
AND THEN I'M GONNA PUT SOME
EXTRA FEATHERS IN THAT HOLE,
IF I CAN.
STICK THAT IN.
THEN MAYBE ANOTHER PURPLE.
WHOOPS.
AND THEN I'LL PUT THE PURPLE IN
RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN I'M GONNA USE
ANOTHER PINK ONE...
AND THEN MAYBE
ONE MORE GREEN.
THERE WE GO.
SO, WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS I'M GONNA WRAP
THIS PART AT THE BACK
THAT WAS FOLDED.
I'M GONNA PUT IT
OVER THE NECK...
FROM BEHIND.
AND THEN I'M GONNA
PULL ON IT
SO IT KINDA LOOKS
LIKE A NECKLACE,
AND I'M JUST GONNA HOLD
THE BOTTOM PART FOR NOW.
THEN, I WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT I CREATE THAT CORSET
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
SO, I'M GONNA FOLD THIS...
THIS IS ALSO KIND OF LIKE
TISSUE PAPER...
She wraps a piece of gold tissue paper around the torso and says I'M GONNA WRAP IT AROUND,
AND THEN I HAVE A CLIP.
SO, I'M GONNA USE THIS CLIP
AT THE BACK.
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT I DON'T USE GLUE OR TAPE,
BECAUSE I WANNA BE ABLE TO USE
THESE MATERIALS AGAIN LATER,
SO I'M GONNA MAKE SURE
THAT I DON'T GLUE THEM
BECAUSE THEN I WON'T BE ABLE
TO USE THEM AGAIN.
AND THEN...NOW I'M GONNA GET
SOME TISSUE PAPER.
SO, I THINK I'M GONNA GO
WITH SOME PINKS.
ACTUALLY,
MAYBE A LIGHTER...PINK.
AND MAYBE SOME GREEN.
AND MAYBE SOME PURPLE,
'CAUSE WE HAD SOME PURPLE
THAT WAS IN THERE AS WELL.
SO, DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE PERFECT.
AND WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS I'M GONNA FOLD IT IN HALF...
AND I'M GONNA WRAP IT
AROUND THE TOP,
JUST LIKE THIS.
AND I'M GONNA HOLD THE BACK.
AND I STILL HAVE MY RIBBON,
SO I'M GONNA TAKE
MY RIBBON,
I'M GONNA
PULL IT ACROSS,
SO IT KIND OF
LOOKS LIKE A...
A BELT.
AND THEN I'M GONNA TIE IT
AT THE BACK...
AND THAT IS MY COSTUME
FOR MALAIKA.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME
ON THE
POWER HOUR.
I HOPE THAT YOU REALLY ENJOYED
THE STORY TODAY,
MALAIKA'S COSTUME.
AND AS YOU THINK
ABOUT THE STORY,
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE
CONNECTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT MAKE
TO YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES.
SO, MAYBE THINGS
THAT YOU'VE CELEBRATED
THAT REMIND YOU
VERY MUCH OF CARNIVAL.
AND AS WE LEARNED
ABOUT CARNIVAL,
CARNIVAL IS WHERE PEOPLE DANCE
AND THEY SING
AND THEY TELL STORIES
THROUGH COSTUMES AND MOVEMENT.
SO, AS YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS
THAT YOU CAN COLLECT AT HOME,
CONSIDER HOW YOU MIGHT
DESIGN SOMETHING
FOR MALAIKA
AND HER CARNIVAL.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR
JOINING ME ON THE
POWER HOUR.
Now an episode of "Ping and friends" rolls.
In animation, a bird, a dog, a cat, and a robot slide down a xylophone slide.
Ping is a yellow bird, Pong is a brown dog with blue ears and Matilda is a black cat.
Ping sings a song that says WE'RE PLAYING A SONG
WITH MATILDA AND PONG
COME MR. PRICKLES
AND SING ALONG
Mister Prickles, a hedgehog, waters the flowers in a garden.
The friends float in soap bubbles and musical notes.
Ping sings MUSIC'S IN EVERY
WORD AND SOUND
UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND
They fall on a drum.
Ping sings HI I'M PING AND THIS IS PONG
WITH OUR FRIENDS WE'LL
ROCK THIS SONG
The name of the show reads "Ping and friends."
The name of the episode reads "From kickups to samba."
(BEEPING)
In the yard, Ping, Matilda, and the robot watch Pong do some kickups.
Ping says GO, PONG!
(BEEPING)
(BELL DINGING)
Ping says 100?
PONG,
THAT'S A NEW RECORD!
Matilda says NOT BAD!
Pong says THANKS.
(DRUMS AND TAMBOURINE PLAYING)
Pong says WA-WOW!
HEY, PING!
YOU SHOULD PLAY
THE TAMBOURINE
AT THE SHEEP
SOCCER MATCH LATER.
Ping says YEAH, GREAT IDEA!
Matilda says I CAN DO KICKUPS TOO.
WANNA SEE?
Ping says WHOA!
Matilda throws the ball all the way into Mister Prickles yard and it lands on the fountain. Water splashes on Mister Prickles.
(SPLASHING)
Matilda says GUESS IT'S NOT AS EASY
AS IT LOOKS.
Pong says OH, MR. PRICKLES!
WELL, YOU...
YOU FOUND OUR BALL!
(NERVOUS CHUCKLING)
Mister Prickles says UH-- UH, THANK YOU.
YOU MEAN THE BALL YOU KICKED
OVER INTO MY GARDEN?
Matilda says WE'RE SORRY,
MR. PRICKLES.
Mister Prickles says YES, I FOUND IT.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG HEDGEHOG,
I WAS QUITE
THE SOCCER PLAYER MYSELF.
Matilda says YOU? REALLY?
Mister Prickles says YES, ME!
WHY?
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?
Matilda says WELL, IF YOU SAY SO.
Mister Prickles says I'LL PROVE IT!
Mister Prickles starts doing kickups.
Ping says YAY, MR. PRICKLES!
(DRUMBEAT AND JINGLING)
Pong says WA-WOW!
HE REALLY IS GOOD!
Matilda says YEAH!
WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED?
(GRUNTING)
Mister Prickles says I CAN DO IT
WITH MY LEFT FOOT TOO!
WANNA SEE?
He throws the ball towards them, the ball bounces on the robot and lands on Mister Prickles' quills.
(ALARMED BEEPING)
The ball pops.
Pong says WHOA!
(POPPING, AIR HISSING)
OH, NO!
Ping says MR. PRICKLES,
ARE YOU OKAY?
(BEEPING)
(GRUNTING)
Mister Prickles says I'M OKAY,
BUT LOOKS LIKE YOUR BALL
DIDN'T MAKE IT, PONG.
I'M SORRY.
I'LL BUY YOU ANOTHER ONE
LATER, OKAY?
Pong says OKAY.
Mister Prickles says THAT'S WHY I DON'T
PLAY SOCCER ANYMORE.
Ping says IT'S OKAY, PONG.
DON'T BE SAD.
DON'T YOU HAVE
ANOTHER BALL?
Pong says NO, THIS WAS
MY ONLY BALL.
AND THE SHEEP NEEDED IT
FOR THEIR GAME TODAY.
The robot beeps something at Pong.
(BEEPING SYMPATHETICALLY)
(PING GASPING)
Ping gasps and says BUT I KNOW WHAT
WILL CHEER YOU UP!
LET'S MAKE A CUICA!
Pong says MAKE A WHAT?
Ping says CUICA!
THE CUICA IS THIS REALLY AMAZING
INSTRUMENT.
I SAW ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME
WHEN I TRAVELLED TO BRAZIL
AND I LOVED IT!
WE CAN IMPROVISE
WITH THIS BUSTED BALL!
Pong says BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE SHEEP'S GAME?
Ping says YEAH, I KNOW.
BUT CHECK THIS OUT FIRST.
IT'S SUCH A FUN
INSTRUMENT.

MIGLIACCIO POLENTA,
A SPECIAL ITALIAN DISH
FOR THE OCCASION.
I'LL CHECK IN
WITH YOU LATER.
Ida-Maria says BYE!

Mom is in her late thirties, with long curly brown hair in a half-do and wears glasses, a gray sweater and a red and white gingham apron.
Ida-Maria says WOO HOO!
Mom says SO, WHAT ARE WE
MAKING TODAY?
Ida-Maria says WE'RE MAKING
MIGLIACCIO DI POLENTA.
Mom says THAT'S RIGHT.
AND DO YOU KNOW
WHAT POLENTA IS IN ENGLISH?
Ida-Maria says IT'S CORNMEAL!

Ida-Maria says IT WAS REALLY, REALLY FUN
TO MAKE MIGLIACCIO
DI POLENTA WITH MY MOM.

USING TODAY? DO YOU KNOW?
Ida-Maria says WE ARE GONNA BE USING
CORNMEAL,
SAUSAGE,
ROMANO CHEESE,
PARMESAN CHEESE,
PROVOLONE,
AND LARD.
THE FIRST STEP WE DID
WAS POUR SIX CUPS OF WATER
INTO A PAN AND LET IT BOIL.
ONCE IT WAS BOILED,
WE PUT THE CORNMEAL INSIDE AND
LET IT SIT FOR A LITTLE BIT.
WHILE WE WERE WAITING,
WE WERE CUTTING UP
THE SAUSAGES AND THE CHEESE.
Mom says THIS IS A TYPICAL DISH
AT CARNEVALE TIME,
BECAUSE IT IS VERY HEARTY
AND BECAUSE WE
GIVE UP MEAT FOR LENT,
THIS IS THE PART
OF YOUR FESTIVAL
THAT WE INDULGE IN THIS
PRIOR TO
THE 40 DAYS OF LENT.
Ida-Maria says LENT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU GIVE UP,
SO I'M GIVING UP POP
FOR LENT.
WE WAITED FOR THE POLENTA
TO BE READY.
WHEN IT WAS READY,
WE DECIDED TO GET MESSY
WITH OUR HANDS
AND DIP THE SAUSAGE IN
THE CHEESE WITH THE CORNMEAL.
AND IT WAS KIND OF
REALLY GROSS,
BUT I LOVE
GETTING DIRTY, SO.
AND THEN AFTER,
WE PUT IT IN THE OVEN
FOR 45 MINUTES.
Mom says SO, IDA-MARIA,
WHILE OUR POLENTA
IS COOKING,
WE'RE GONNA PLAY...
WHAT CHEESE IS THIS?
Ida-Maria says I WAS IN A BLINDFOLD
AND WE PLAYED
THE CHEESE GAME
TO SEE IF I KNEW
MY ITALIAN CHEESE.
The caption changes to "What cheese is this?"
Mom says TAKE ONE.
TRY IT.
Ida-Maria says HMM.
Mom says WHAT CHEESE IS THAT?
Ida-Maria says ROMANO.
Mom says BRAVA!
TRY THAT ONE.
AND WHICH ONE'S THAT?
Ida-Maria says THAT'S EASY.
IT'S PARMESAN.
Mom says LOOKING SHARP!
OKAY, LAST ONE.
TRY THAT ONE.
TRY IT.
WHICH ONE'S THAT?
Ida-Maria makes a funny face and says IT'S PROVOLONE.
Mom says YOU ARE A TRUE ITALIAN.
Ida-Maria says SI.
Mom says DAMMI CINQUE!
Ida-Maria says GRAZIE!
They high-five.
Ida-Maria says I'D SAY I WAS PRETTY MUCH
A SUCCESS
BECAUSE I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT.
THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW
I'M A TRUE ITALIAN.
Mom says TA-DA!
YOUR FINAL PRODUCT.
Ida-Maria says FOR MY FIRST TIME MAKING IT,
IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD!
I THINK I DID A WONDERFUL JOB.
LET'S GO PREP
FOR MY PARTY TOMORROW.
Mom says LET'S GO.
Ida-Maria says I'M REALLY EXCITED
TO SHARE THE MEAL
WITH MY GUESTS
AND GABRIEL TOMORROW,
BECAUSE I THINK
HE WON'T STOP EATING IT.
I THINK HE'S REALLY
GONNA LIKE IT.
(KIDS GIGGLING)

I WOULD BEG YOU TO MAKE SUSHI
EVERY LUNCH AND DINNER.
Emily says GABRIEL AND IDA-MARIA HAVE BEEN
BUSY CRAFTING THEIR COSTUMES
AND COOKING UP A STORM.
BUT NOW IT'S TIME
FOR THE CARNEVALE EVENT!
THE PARTY CHALLENGE,
SURPRISE,

ALL THAT'S LEFT TO DO
IS CELEBRATE IN STYLE.

Miss K holds a storybook and says HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
TO A CELEBRATION
WHERE PEOPLE HAVE FUN
AND GATHER TOGETHER?
TODAY WE'RE GONNA BE READING THE
BOOK CALLED
MALAIKA'S COSTUME.
AND THIS IS BY A CANADIAN AUTHOR
NAMED NADIA HOHN.
AND IN THIS STORY,
IT'S ABOUT A YOUNG GIRL
WHO WANTS TO JOIN CARNIVAL.
SHE WANTS TO DRESS UP
IN A COSTUME
AND DANCE AND SING MUSIC
AND JOIN OTHER PEOPLE
IN CELEBRATION.
HER MUM USUALLY LIVES
WITH HER,
BUT SHE'S ACTUALLY
IN CANADA,
MAKING MONEY AND SENDING MONEY
TO HER FOR HER COSTUME.
SO, TODAY WE'RE GONNA READ
TO FIND OUT ABOUT YOUNG MALAIKA
AND HOW SHE'S ABLE
TO JOIN CARNIVAL
AND CREATE A COSTUME TO WEAR.
AND AS WE READ TODAY,
WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING
IS WE ARE GONNA BE MAKING
CONNECTIONS TO OUR OWN LIVES.
SO, JOIN ME
IN READING
MALAIKA'S COSTUME.
A caption reads "With permission of Groundwood Books."
She reads the story and says "I CLOSE MY EYES AND DANCE.
"I AM A BEAUTIFUL PEACOCK.
"EACH FEATHER SHIMMERS-- GREEN,
GOLD, TURQUOISE AND BROWN.
"GRANDMA SAY, 'GIRL, I THINK YOU
IS DEFINITELY
"MY GRANDDAUGHTER FOR TRUE.'
"THIS IS THE FIRST CARNIVAL TIME
WITH MOMMY GONE.
"'SHE IN CANADA,'
UNCLE EWARD SAY.
"'CANADA'S A PLACE WHERE
SHE CAN GET A JOB.
"SHE GOING TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE
FOR YOU AND GRANNY.'
"CANADA IS COLD LIKE AN ICEBOX
"AND SOMETIMES THEY CALL SNOW IS
ON THE GROUND, MUMMY TELL ME.
"SHE TELL ME PICTURES, TOO.
SHE SEND ME PICTURES, TOO.
"THE SNOW LOOK LIKE
COCONUT SKY JUICE.
"SHE SAY THAT
CHILDREN PLAY IN IT,
"AND BUILD MAN WITH IT.
WHAT A STICKY MESS!
"IF THERE'S SO MANY JOBS
IN CANADA,
"HOW COME GRANDMA AND I
HAVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG,
"LONG FOR THE MONEY?"
"MUMMY SAY SHE WOULD
SEND TO ME MY COSTUME.
"SHE WOULD MAKE ME MY COSTUME.
"CARNIVAL SOON COME,
"AND EVERYONE GETTING
THEIR COSTUMES READY.
"MICHAEL AND JUNIOR
ARE PLAYING JAV MOLASSIE
"IN THE KIDDIE CARNIVAL."
AND SO, FOR THOSE OF YOU
WHO DON'T KNOW
WHAT KIDDIE CARNIVAL IS,
IT IS ALSO A CARNIVAL
FOR LITTLE CHILDREN
WHERE THEY DRESS UP
IN COSTUMES AND HAVE FUN.
"THEY WEARING BRIEFS
AND BLUE PAINT.
"RAVINA AND SHELLY
ARE RED HIBISCUS."
WHICH IS A FLOWER.
"THEY WEARING THEIR SARIS
AND LOOKING LIKE BRIDES.
"MALCOLM AND MARCUS
ARE STILT-DANCING,
"(UNCLEAR).
"THEY LOOK LIKE GIRAFFES.
"EVEN THE JOHNSON BABY, IVAN,
"HAS A PIRERO COSTUME.
"HE'S STILL CRAWLING. EVERYONE
PRACTICED THEIR DANCE MOVES,
"EVERYONE EXCEPT ME. I DON'T
FEEL LIKE DANCING ANYMORE."
SO, AS I READ THIS PAGE,
IT ACTUALLY REMINDS ME
OF A TIME WHEN I USED TO
PARTICIPATE IN CARIBANA
AND ALSO KIDDIE'S CARNIVAL
WHICH HAPPENS IN TORONTO.
AND IN THIS PARADE,
PEOPLE DRESS UP IN COSTUMES,
THEY DANCE, THEY SING,
THEY HAVE FUN,
AND THEY ALSO TELL STORIES
THROUGH MOVEMENT.
THROUGH DANCE AND MUSIC.
SO, EVERY YEAR, THERE ARE ROADS
FULL OF PEOPLE
THAT ARE EATING, THEY'RE MOVING,
THEY'RE SINGING,
THEY'RE HAVING FUN
IN THE STREETS,
JUST LIKE THE VIDEO
WE SAW EARLIER IN CARNEVALE.
SO, I'M GONNA ASK YOU
TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT CONNECTIONS
YOU MIGHT MAKE TO THIS PAGE?
DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF
SOMETHING THAT YOU CELEBRATE?
"TODAY A LETTER COME, BUT AFTER
GRANDMA OPEN IT,
"SHE LOOK SAD.
"I JUST KNOW WHAT
THE WRITING SAY
"AND BIG TEARDROPS
ROLL DOWN MY FACE.
"GRANDMA GO TO HER ROOM.
SHE COME BACK WITH AN OLD
"RED CARDBOARD SUITCASE
THAT I NEVER SEE BEFORE.
"SHE PULL OUT
A GREEN AND PURPLE COSTUME
"COVERED IN GOLD SEQUINS
AND DANGLING RIBBON.
"'THIS WAS MY CARNIVAL COSTUME
WHEN I WAS A GIRL.'"
"GRANDMA MADE ME PUT ON THE
TIRED COSTUME.
"IT SMELT FUNNY, AND IT DUSTY.
"THE COSTUME SQUEEZE MY BELLY
"AND SOME OF THE
SEQUINS FALL OFF.
"I FEEL HOT AND ITCHY.
"'GRANDMA, I DON'T LIKE IT.
"'I WON'T WEAR
THIS TERRIBLE THING,' I SAY.
"AND WITH THAT, I PULL OFF
THE COSTUME, HEARING IT RIP.
"I RUN, RUN, RUN
WITH MY HOT, DRY FEET."
SO, AS I LOOK AT
THIS PART IN THE STORY,
THIS REMINDS ME OF A TIME
WHEN I WAS REALLY YOUNG
AND MY OLDER COUSINS
WOULD GIVE ME
SOME OF THEIR OLD CLOTHES
TO WEAR,
BECAUSE THEY NO LONGER
COULD WEAR IT. THEY OUTGREW IT.
SO, I WAS ACTUALLY GIFTED
THOSE CLOTHING...
THAT CLOTHING...
FOR ME TO WEAR
BECAUSE IT WOULD FIT ME.
SO, AS YOU THINK
ABOUT THIS PART IN THE STORY
AND YOU LOOK AT THESE IMAGES,
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT CONNECTIONS YOU MIGHT MAKE.
"I PASS TWO GOATS
DRINKING FROM A PUDDLE.
"I PASS A FEW NEIGHBOURS' YARDS.
"MR. DA SILVA,
MS. BLAKE, PASTOR SIMMS,
"AND I PASS
THE CLAP-HAND CHURCH
"WHERE GRANDMA
SOMETIMES TAKES ME.
"I SEE THE OLD MEN IN FRONT
OF THE LITTLE SHOP.
"ACROSS THE STREET I SEE
MENELIK THE RASTAMAN,
"WHO SELL US THE CASSAVA CHIPS
AND JELLY COCONUT
"THAT I LIKE SO MUCH.
"I ALMOST REACH
THE OBEAH LADY'S OLD HOUSE
"AT THE END OF THE STREET."
"I STOP. I DON'T KNOW
WHERE ELSE TO GO.
"THEN I BEGIN TO HEAR A SONG
THAT I KNOW.
"IT'S PLAYING ON SOMEONE'S
STEREO. IT GOES..."
The song goes I STARTED TO BEAT PAN
AT THE AGE OF SIX
MY GRANDMOTHER TELL ME
IT IS TRUE WE ARE POOR,
BUT WE HAVE DIGNITY
She says "THIS IS ONE OF GRANDMA'S
FAVOURITE KAISO SONGS.
"I RUN TO MS. CHIN, THE TAILOR...
"THE TAILOR LADY ACROSS THE
CORNER.
"'DO YOU HAVE ANY
THROWAWAY CLOTH?
"I JUST NEED A FEW RAGS,' I SAY.
"'CHILE, IS GRANNY MAKING YOU
SOME MORE DOLLS?'
"SHE ASKS IN HER SINGSONG
KIND OF VOICE.
"I THINK ABOUT MY
TWO PRETTY RAG DOLLS,
"CEECEE AND DEEDEE,
SITTING ON MY BED.
"'NO, MA'AM.
FOR A SURPRISE,' I SAY.
"MS. CHIN TURN AROUND
AND GO INTO A ROOM.
"SHE COME BACK
WITH A BIG RED PLASTIC BAG.
"IT FLOWING OVER WITH PIECES
OF RIPPED-UP CLOTH,
"ALL IN DIFFERENT COLOURS.
"I SMILE. 'THANK YOU, MA'AM,'
I SAY,
"AND THEN I RUN
ALL THE WAY BACK HOME.
"I BANG THE DOOR OPEN.
"'GRANDMA, GRANDMA,
GUESS WHAT I FIND?' I YELL,
"WHILE HOLDING THE HANDLE
OF THE BAG TIGHT.
"'SHHH. HUSH, CHILE,'
GRANDMA SAY.
"SHE LOOK AT ME WITH A SAD FACE,
THEN I START TO CRY.
"'I'M SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO
RUN OFF AND SAY THOSE THINGS.'
"'ALL RIGHT, MALAIKA, YOU DO
BETTER NOW.' SHE SMILE.
"'NOW, WHAT YOU BRING?'
"I SHOW HER THE BAG OF CLOTH
"AND I SMILE
WHEN I TELL HER MY IDEA.
"THEN IT'S GRANDMA'S TURN TO
SURPRISE ME.
"WHILE I RAN AWAY,
SHE FIX THE COSTUME
"AND WIPE IT CLEAN
WITH SOAP AND ROSEWATER.
"THEN SHE SPRINKLE A LITTLE BABY
POWDER INSIDE
"SO IT SMELL SWEET AND FRESH.
"I SEE THE CLEAN COSTUME
HANGING ON THE CLOTHING LINE,
"DRYING IN THE SUN.
"'IT SMELL NICE, GRANDMA,'
I SAY.
"'WELL, MY DEAR," SHE SAY.
"'WHAT WILL YOU BE THIS YEAR?'
"'A RAINBOW PEACOCK
LIKE THE ONE IN MY DREAM.
"THE HEAD WILL BE SHINY
"AND PROUD AND STRONG,' I SAY.
She shows a picture in the book that depicts grandma helping Malaika make her costume.
Miss K says "I FIND TINY TURQUOISE, GREEN,
GOLD AND BROWN BUTTONS
"IN GRANDMA'S SEWING BOX TO GLUE
ON TO MAKE THE HEAD.
"I FIND TWO CLEAR BUTTONS FOR
THE EYES.
"THEY LOOK LIKE
SPARKLING JEWELS.
"'THE BODY, ROUND AND FULL
OF BRIGHT FEATHERS, GRANDMA.'
"WE RIP, RIP, RIP SMALL PIECES
OF THE COLOURFUL CLOTH
"AND THEN TIE THEM ONTO THE BODY
OF THE COSTUME.
"'OOOH, RED CHIFFON,
BLUE SILK,
"'JADE LACE, PURPLE RIBBON,'
GRANDMA WHISPER.
"THE WORDS SOUND LIKE MUSIC
TO MY EARS.
(READING ALOUD)
(CHUCKLING)
"WE GLUE, SEW, AND TIE THE CLOTH
ONTO THE BODY.
"GRANDMA EVEN HELP ME
MAKE CUFFS FOR MY ARMS
"OUT OF COPPER CLOTH
SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WINGS.
"I TWIST IN SOME GOLD WIRES
TO ADD EXTRA FEATHERS."
SO, AS I LOOK AT THIS PAGE
AND I THINK ABOUT
GRANDMA AND MALAIKA,
THIS REMINDS ME OF CARIBANA
AND MAS CAMPS.
SO, MAS CAMPS IS A PLACE
WHERE YOU WOULD GO
TO PICK UP YOUR COSTUME
BEFORE A PARADE
AND YOU WOULD SEE PEOPLE
THAT ARE MAKING
AND DESIGNING COSTUMES
THAT LOOK VERY DIFFERENT.
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS A STORY
THAT IS TOLD.
AND THIS REMINDS ME
VERY MUCH
OF THOSE CAMPS THAT I'D GO TO
IN THE SUMMER.
SO, AS YOU LOOK
AT THIS PAGE,
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT THIS REMINDS YOU OF.
LET'S IMAGINE THAT WE ARE
FASHION DESIGNERS.
AND WE'RE GONNA CREATE
A COSTUME FOR MALAIKA.
BUT FIRST, LET'S LEARN
A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHAT
FASHION DESIGNERS DO.
A little blond girl says HI, I'M TASHA.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I'D BE A FASHION DESIGNER!
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
A song plays that says IMAGINE, IMAGINE
IMAGINE POWERFUL
IMAGINE COLOURFUL
IMAGINE MAGICAL
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
The name of the show reads "Can you imagine that?"
The caption changes to "Starring Tasha."
Tasha draws on an easel and says HI, I'M TASHA.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I'D BE A FASHION DESIGNER.
A FASHION DESIGNER
USES THEIR CREATIVITY
TO IMAGINE WHAT CLOTHES
COULD LOOK LIKE,
AND THEN MAKES THEM.
MY FAVOURITE THING TO CREATE
WOULD BE PARTY DRESSES!
In animation, Tasha creates different party dresses.
(LAUGHING)
She says I WOULD MAKE MY DRESSES
ALL DIFFERENT SHAPES
AND COLOURS.
FIRST, I WOULD DRAW WHAT I WANT
THE DRESS TO LOOK LIKE.
THAT BECOMES
MY PAPER DESIGNER PATTERN.
TIME TO GET TO WORK!
I ADD A BIG,
BLUE CIRCLE HERE
AND SOME YELLOW TRIANGLES
OVER HERE.
HMM.
MAYBE I NEED
A BIT OF PURPLE.
AHA!
She adds a butterfly to her dress and says PERFECT!
NOW THAT I HAVE A PATTERN,
IT'S TIME TO MAKE THE DRESS
USING DIFFERENT FABRICS.
I'D USE A MEASURING TAPE
TO MEASURE HOW BIG A PIECE
I NEED TO MAKE THE DRESS.
NINE, TEN,
11, 12 CENTIMETRES.
I'D CUT OUT
ALL THE PIECES FIRST.
THEN I WOULD
SEW THEM TOGETHER.
WHEN MY DRESS IS DONE,
I'LL TELL EVERYONE
TO CLOSE THEIR EYES.
THEN I'LL SHOW EVERYONE!
She models the dress and says TA-DA!
EVERYONE WOULD SAY,
"WOW, THAT DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL!
"CAN YOU MAKE ME ONE TOO?"
AND SO I'LL MAKE
A WHOLE BUNCH.
MY COUSIN WOULD WANT
AN ORANGE DRESS.
MY FRIENDS CLAIRE AND MARGOT
WOULD WANT YELLOW AND BLUE
STRIPED DRESSES.
I'D ALSO MAKE
CLOTHES FOR PETS.
(LAUGHING)
I'D MAKE DOG COATS THAT
KEEP THEM WARM IN THE WINTER.
She makes a hot dog bun coat for her wiener dog.
She says AND HATS FOR CATS!
IF I WAS A FASHION DESIGNER,
I'D HAVE MY VERY OWN STORE.
I'D SELL ALL MY DESIGNS
AND DRESSES.
IT WOULD BE A BUSY
AND FUN PLACE.
I LOVE BEING
A FASHION DESIGNER!
A song plays that goes CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE
CAN YOU IMAGINE THERE'S
A WORLD FULL OF FANTASY
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT LOTS
IT BECOMES SO REAL
DID YOU KNOW, DID YOU KNOW,
DID YOU KNOW
THAT YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO
IMAGINE THIS OR THAT,
THINK OF SOMETHING NEW
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE
A THING OR TWO
ANYTHING YOU WANT,
IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BAH, BAH, BAH,
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
BAH, BA-DA, BA-DA
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?
Tasha says I'M TASHA
AND I'M A FASHION DESIGNER.
IMAGINE THAT!
The end credits roll.
(BLEATING)
Miss K keeps reading Malaika's story and says "I CAREFULLY PULL
THE PEACOCK BODYSUIT ON.
"THEN GRANDMA PUT ON
MY PEACOCK HEAD, JUST SO.
"I LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
"THE COSTUME FIT ME AND I SHINE
FROM HEAD TO TOE.
"'WHO LOOKING SO LOVELY?
"'GIRL, THIS COSTUME LOOK
BETTER THAN EVER,'
"GRANDMA SAY,
AND SHE IS RIGHT.
"I AM EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL
THAN THE PEACOCK IN MY DREAMS.
"THE NEXT MORNING,
I JUMP OUT OF BED.
"'IT'S TIME, GRANDMA,
IT'S TIME!'
"I PUT ON THE COSTUME AGAIN,
REAL SLOW.
"BUT THEN I START
TO FEEL BAD.
"IT WAS MUMMY WHO USED TO HELP
DRESS ME FOR CARNIVAL.
"'GRANDMA, CAN WE TAKE
SOME PICTURES TODAY?
"'I WANNA SHOW MUMMY.'
"'OF COURSE, CHILE. YOUR MOTHER
WOULDN'T WANT TO MISS THIS
"'AND SHE WOULD BE SO PROUD YOU
MAKE YOUR COSTUME,' SHE SAYS.
"GRANDMA TAKE ME TO THE STREETS
OF (UNCLEAR) CARNIVAL PARADE,
"WHERE ALL THE PEOPLE ARE
BOUNCING AND DANCING
"TO THE MUSIC.
"SOKKA AND CALYPSO RHYTHMS
"FILL THE STREET.
"I SEE MISS CHIN.
"'WOW! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE,
"YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL, DARLING!'
SHE SAY.
"'WHO IS THAT COMING
DOWN THE ROAD?
"CARNIVAL QUEEN?'
UNCLE EWARD LAUGHS.
"I MARCH OUT TO THE FRONT
LIKE A PROUD PEACOCK.
"I TURN AROUND AND I DANCE,
DANCE, DANCE."
The story ends.
Miss K says SO, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED
THAT STORY,
MALAIKA'S CARNIVAL.
SO, TODAY WE HAVE
SO MANY DIFFERENT CONNECTIONS
THAT WE MADE TO OUR PERSONAL
LIVES IN THIS STORY.
SO AS WE CAN SEE,
SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD
CELEBRATE,
AND THEY CELEBRATE
THROUGH MUSIC, THROUGH DANCING,
AND THEY CELEBRATE SOMETIMES
IN THE STREETS.
SO, JUST KIND OF LIKE
CARNEVALE AND CARNIVAL,
WE SHARE THIS STORY
TO KINDA SHARE WITH YOU
WHAT ARE SOME
DIFFERENT CELEBRATIONS
THAT CAN HAPPEN AROUND THE
WORLD, INCLUDING IN TORONTO.
SO, WE'RE GOING TO...
ACTUALLY AT THIS POINT
IN TIME,
WE ARE GOING TO DESIGN
A COSTUME FOR MALAIKA.
The caption changes to "Primary 1-3. Design challenge."
Now Miss K stands next to a sketch of a mannequin.
She says SO, WHAT MIGHT WE DESIGN
FOR MALAIKA'S COSTUME
THAT SHE CAN WEAR
FOR CARNIVAL?
WE'RE GONNA TRY AND DESIGN
SOMETHING FOR HER.
SO, I DREW A MANNEQUIN.
MUCH LIKE THIS,
AND THIS WILL BE MALAIKA.
SO, THIS IS OUR MANNEQUIN.
AND THAT IS
GOING TO BE MALAIKA.
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY
CREATE A COSTUME FOR HER.
AND TYPICALLY,
WHEN FASHION DESIGNERS CREATE
A DESIGN FOR A COSTUME,
THEY USUALLY WILL HAVE TO HAVE
A PLAN IN PLACE BEFORE.
SO, WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY
DRAFT A PLAN
TO SEE WHAT WE CAN CREATE
FOR HER.
SO, I'M THINKING
IT MIGHT BE A PEACOCK,
SO I THINK I'M GONNA GO WITH
THE COLOURS PURPLE AND GREEN.
ALL RIGHT.
SO, I'M GOING TO KINDA CREATE...
ALMOST LIKE A CORSET
AT THE TOP.
MIGHT BE GREEN.
AND THEN WE'LL GO...
I WANT IT TO LOOK
ALMOST FAIRY-LIKE,
SO I'M GOING TO USE PAPER
AND SCRUNCH IT A BIT,
AND CREATE A SKIRT FOR HER.
AND TYPICALLY WHEN WE THINK
ABOUT CARNIVAL,
THERE ARE A LOT OF FEATHERS
THAT WE USE,
SO I'M GONNA DRAW A FEW FEATHERS
AT THE BACK OF HER COSTUME.
SO, IT KINDA LOOKS
LIKE A PEACOCK.
ALL RIGHT.
AND I'M GONNA WRITE DOWN
WHAT IT IS THAT I HAVE CREATED.
SO, I AM GOING TO LABEL.
SO, THIS IS THE CORSET...
AND I DID A SKIRT.
THEN UP TOP
WE HAVE SOME FEATHERS.
AND THEN WE KNOW THAT THIS IS
"MALAIKA'S COSTUME."
OKAY, SO WE HAVE
A PLAN IN PLACE,
AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO
IS WE ARE GONNA TRY AND CREATE
A DESIGN FOR MALAIKA.
I'M GONNA PUT A BELT.
AND WRITE "BELT."
SO, WE'RE GONNA TRY AND CREATE
THIS COSTUME FOR MALAIKA
USING SOME THINGS
THAT I FOUND FROM HOME.
ALL RIGHT,
SO NOW WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY
TRY AND MAKE A COSTUME
FOR MALAIKA
USING THE MATERIALS
THAT I FOUND AROUND MY HOME.
SO, I FOUND FEATHERS,
ALONG WITH SOME TWIST TIES...
I HAVE TISSUE PAPER.
SOMETIMES WE USE THEM
FOR PRESENTS.
I HAVE RIBBON,
AND I ALSO HAVE...
SOME BUTTERFLY CLIPS...
AND SOME PAPERCLIPS.
AND I'VE ACTUALLY USED
THE SPOOL FOR MY RIBBON.
SO, I'M GONNA USE
THIS AS WELL.
Now she uses a 3-D figurine to make the costume on and says ALL RIGHT.
SO, NOW WE'RE GONNA TRY AND
CREATE A COSTUME FOR MALAIKA,
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THERE
ARE SOME FEATHERS AT THE BACK,
SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS I'M GONNA TAKE THE RIBBON,
I'M GONNA FOLD IT IN HALF,
AND I'M GONNA FEED IT THROUGH
THE LITTLE HOLE IN THE SPOOL
AND PULL IT TO THE BACK.
USING MY SCISSORS...
AND YOU GOTTA BE VERY CAREFUL
WITH THE SCISSORS...
I'M GONNA MAKE SOME HOLES...
AT THE TOP OF MY SPOOL.
AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE
SOME HOLES THAT ARE THERE.
AND IT DOESN'T
HAVE TO BE PERFECT.
SO, THE COLOURS THAT I WANNA USE
IS I WANNA USE SOME PURPLE...
AND I'M GONNA STICK
THE FEATHERS AT THE BACK.
SOME GREEN...
MAYBE EVEN SOME PINK.
AND THEN I'M GONNA PUT SOME
EXTRA FEATHERS IN THAT HOLE,
IF I CAN.
STICK THAT IN.
THEN MAYBE ANOTHER PURPLE.
WHOOPS.
AND THEN I'LL PUT THE PURPLE IN
RIGHT HERE.
AND THEN I'M GONNA USE
ANOTHER PINK ONE...
AND THEN MAYBE
ONE MORE GREEN.
THERE WE GO.
SO, WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS I'M GONNA WRAP
THIS PART AT THE BACK
THAT WAS FOLDED.
I'M GONNA PUT IT
OVER THE NECK...
FROM BEHIND.
AND THEN I'M GONNA
PULL ON IT
SO IT KINDA LOOKS
LIKE A NECKLACE,
AND I'M JUST GONNA HOLD
THE BOTTOM PART FOR NOW.
THEN, I WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT I CREATE THAT CORSET
THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
SO, I'M GONNA FOLD THIS...
THIS IS ALSO KIND OF LIKE
TISSUE PAPER...
She wraps a piece of gold tissue paper around the torso and says I'M GONNA WRAP IT AROUND,
AND THEN I HAVE A CLIP.
SO, I'M GONNA USE THIS CLIP
AT THE BACK.
AND I WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT I DON'T USE GLUE OR TAPE,
BECAUSE I WANNA BE ABLE TO USE
THESE MATERIALS AGAIN LATER,
SO I'M GONNA MAKE SURE
THAT I DON'T GLUE THEM
BECAUSE THEN I WON'T BE ABLE
TO USE THEM AGAIN.
AND THEN...NOW I'M GONNA GET
SOME TISSUE PAPER.
SO, I THINK I'M GONNA GO
WITH SOME PINKS.
ACTUALLY,
MAYBE A LIGHTER...PINK.
AND MAYBE SOME GREEN.
AND MAYBE SOME PURPLE,
'CAUSE WE HAD SOME PURPLE
THAT WAS IN THERE AS WELL.
SO, DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE PERFECT.
AND WHAT I'M GONNA DO
IS I'M GONNA FOLD IT IN HALF...
AND I'M GONNA WRAP IT
AROUND THE TOP,
JUST LIKE THIS.
AND I'M GONNA HOLD THE BACK.
AND I STILL HAVE MY RIBBON,
SO I'M GONNA TAKE
MY RIBBON,
I'M GONNA
PULL IT ACROSS,
SO IT KIND OF
LOOKS LIKE A...
A BELT.
AND THEN I'M GONNA TIE IT
AT THE BACK...
AND THAT IS MY COSTUME
FOR MALAIKA.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME
ON THE
POWER HOUR.
I HOPE THAT YOU REALLY ENJOYED
THE STORY TODAY,
MALAIKA'S COSTUME.
AND AS YOU THINK
ABOUT THE STORY,
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THE
CONNECTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT MAKE
TO YOUR OWN EXPERIENCES.
SO, MAYBE THINGS
THAT YOU'VE CELEBRATED
THAT REMIND YOU
VERY MUCH OF CARNIVAL.
AND AS WE LEARNED
ABOUT CARNIVAL,
CARNIVAL IS WHERE PEOPLE DANCE
AND THEY SING
AND THEY TELL STORIES
THROUGH COSTUMES AND MOVEMENT.
SO, AS YOU THINK ABOUT THINGS
THAT YOU CAN COLLECT AT HOME,
CONSIDER HOW YOU MIGHT
DESIGN SOMETHING
FOR MALAIKA
AND HER CARNIVAL.
THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR
JOINING ME ON THE
POWER HOUR.
Now an episode of "Ping and friends" rolls.
In animation, a bird, a dog, a cat, and a robot slide down a xylophone slide.
Ping is a yellow bird, Pong is a brown dog with blue ears and Matilda is a black cat.
Ping sings a song that says WE'RE PLAYING A SONG
WITH MATILDA AND PONG
COME MR. PRICKLES
AND SING ALONG
Mister Prickles, a hedgehog, waters the flowers in a garden.
The friends float in soap bubbles and musical notes.
Ping sings MUSIC'S IN EVERY
WORD AND SOUND
UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND
They fall on a drum.
Ping sings HI I'M PING AND THIS IS PONG
WITH OUR FRIENDS WE'LL
ROCK THIS SONG
The name of the show reads "Ping and friends."
The name of the episode reads "From kickups to samba."
(BEEPING)
In the yard, Ping, Matilda, and the robot watch Pong do some kickups.
Ping says GO, PONG!
(BEEPING)
(BELL DINGING)
Ping says 100?
PONG,
THAT'S A NEW RECORD!
Matilda says NOT BAD!
Pong says THANKS.
(DRUMS AND TAMBOURINE PLAYING)
Pong says WA-WOW!
HEY, PING!
YOU SHOULD PLAY
THE TAMBOURINE
AT THE SHEEP
SOCCER MATCH LATER.
Ping says YEAH, GREAT IDEA!
Matilda says I CAN DO KICKUPS TOO.
WANNA SEE?
Ping says WHOA!
Matilda throws the ball all the way into Mister Prickles yard and it lands on the fountain. Water splashes on Mister Prickles.
(SPLASHING)
Matilda says GUESS IT'S NOT AS EASY
AS IT LOOKS.
Pong says OH, MR. PRICKLES!
WELL, YOU...
YOU FOUND OUR BALL!
(NERVOUS CHUCKLING)
Mister Prickles says UH-- UH, THANK YOU.
YOU MEAN THE BALL YOU KICKED
OVER INTO MY GARDEN?
Matilda says WE'RE SORRY,
MR. PRICKLES.
Mister Prickles says YES, I FOUND IT.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG HEDGEHOG,
I WAS QUITE
THE SOCCER PLAYER MYSELF.
Matilda says YOU? REALLY?
Mister Prickles says YES, ME!
WHY?
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME?
Matilda says WELL, IF YOU SAY SO.
Mister Prickles says I'LL PROVE IT!
Mister Prickles starts doing kickups.
Ping says YAY, MR. PRICKLES!
(DRUMBEAT AND JINGLING)
Pong says WA-WOW!
HE REALLY IS GOOD!
Matilda says YEAH!
WHO WOULD'VE GUESSED?
(GRUNTING)
Mister Prickles says I CAN DO IT
WITH MY LEFT FOOT TOO!
WANNA SEE?
He throws the ball towards them, the ball bounces on the robot and lands on Mister Prickles' quills.
(ALARMED BEEPING)
The ball pops.
Pong says WHOA!
(POPPING, AIR HISSING)
OH, NO!
Ping says MR. PRICKLES,
ARE YOU OKAY?
(BEEPING)
(GRUNTING)
Mister Prickles says I'M OKAY,
BUT LOOKS LIKE YOUR BALL
DIDN'T MAKE IT, PONG.
I'M SORRY.
I'LL BUY YOU ANOTHER ONE
LATER, OKAY?
Pong says OKAY.
Mister Prickles says THAT'S WHY I DON'T
PLAY SOCCER ANYMORE.
Ping says IT'S OKAY, PONG.
DON'T BE SAD.
DON'T YOU HAVE
ANOTHER BALL?
Pong says NO, THIS WAS
MY ONLY BALL.
AND THE SHEEP NEEDED IT
FOR THEIR GAME TODAY.
The robot beeps something at Pong.
(BEEPING SYMPATHETICALLY)
(PING GASPING)
Ping gasps and says BUT I KNOW WHAT
WILL CHEER YOU UP!
LET'S MAKE A CUICA!
Pong says MAKE A WHAT?
Ping says CUICA!
THE CUICA IS THIS REALLY AMAZING
INSTRUMENT.
I SAW ONE FOR THE FIRST TIME
WHEN I TRAVELLED TO BRAZIL
AND I LOVED IT!
WE CAN IMPROVISE
WITH THIS BUSTED BALL!
Pong says BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE SHEEP'S GAME?
Ping says YEAH, I KNOW.
BUT CHECK THIS OUT FIRST.
IT'S SUCH A FUN
INSTRUMENT.
YOU'RE GONNA
LOVE IT TOO.
She uses the deflated ball and tucks in in a wooden hoop and base.
She says ALL DONE!
(SQUEAKING)
(BEEPING)
The robot recognizes the sound and says CUICA.
Pong says WA-WOW!
THAT'S AMAZING,
PING!
(IMITATING CUICA)
Pong says OOWI-OO, OO, OO!
OOWA-OO-OO.
HEY, PING,
WHERE'S THAT TAMBOURINE?
COME ON, PING!
PLAY THE CUICA!
(SQUEAKING)
(DRUMBEAT AND JINGLING)
Pong plays the tambourine as Ping plays the cuica.
Ping sings a song that says WHEN YOUR BALL POPS
WHAT DO YOU DO?
IMPROVISE A CUICA
AND SOME SAMBA TOO
LA, LA, LA
FROM KICKUPS TO SAMBA
LA, LA, LA
FROM KICKUPS TO SAMBA
LA, LA, LA-AH
Pong says WA-WOW, THAT WAS GREAT!
Ping says YEAH.
She gasps and says WE SHOULD PLAY OUR SONG
AT THE GAME
TO CHEER ON THE SHEEP!
Pong says THE GAME!
AND WE DON'T HAVE
A BALL!
Matilda says IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO TURN THIS
BACK INTO A BALL NOW.
(GROANING)
Pong groans and says I GUESS WE BETTER
CANCEL THE GAME.
Ping says OHH!
NO WAY!
I'VE GOT THE BEST IDEA EVER!
IF WE CAN IMPROVISE A CUICA,
THEN WE CAN DO IT
WITH A BALL TOO!
Pong says WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"IMPROVISE" A BALL?
Ping says WE'LL TRY AND FIND
THINGS WE CAN USE
TO MAKE A NEW ONE.
WE'LL IMPROVISE!
She makes a patchwork of elements and fashions a ball.
She says ALL DONE.
LET'S TRY IT OUT!
They start playing soccer with the improvised ball.
(CHUCKLING)
(GIGGLING)
Ping sings a song that says WHEN YOUR BALL POPS
WHAT DO YOU DO
IMPROVISE A NEW ONE
AND SOME SAMBA TOO
(CUICA SQUEAKING)
The sheep get ready to play the game.
(WHISTLE BLOWING)
Mister Prickles watches from behind the bushes.
Ping sings LA, LA, LA
FROM KICKUPS TO SAMBA
LA, LA, LA
FROM KICKUPS TO SAMBA
ALWAYS THINKIN' ON OUR FEET
PLAYIN' A GAME
AND A BRAND NEW BEAT

A sheep scores and says BAA!
Mister Prickles says GOAL!
Pong says PING?
Ping says PONG?
Pong says DO YOU SEE

Mister Prickles says P-P-PING! UH--PONG!
Ping says MR. PRICKLES,
WHY AREN'T YOU OVER THERE

Matilda says OH. IT'S JUST

Pong says YOU CAN TELL US
WHAT'S WRONG.
Mister Prickles says WHAT IF MY QUILLS

Ping says WAIT, I'VE GOT AN IDEA!
Ping sticks foam balls in his quills.
Mister Prickles says THESE FOAM BALLS

HUH, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
