  • M'alt Ese Children's Rhymes and Poet Ry
    M'ALT ESE CHILDREN'S RHYMES AND POET RY by J. CASSAR PULLICINO The songs and ditties falling under the heading 'Children's Rhymes' immediately conjure up recollections of our earliest exist­ ence and childhood activities, of games and emotions long since forgotten. I have used the wider term 'Children's Rhymes', and not 'Nursery Rhyme s' on purpose, for apart fron: those verses which are traditionally passed on by adults to a child while it is still of nurse­ ry age, there is another kind of verse lore passing between children beyond the age of six when out of sight of their parents or at play that in a very real sense also belongs to children. Let us make this distinction clear. In defining the scope of their encyclopaedic work on Nursery Rhymes, Iona and Peter Opie write as follows: 'As well as the nonsense jingles, humorous songs and character rhymes, it includes the more common lullabies, infant amusements, nursery counting-out formulas, baby puzzles and rid­ dles, rhyming alphabets, tongue twisters, nursery prayers and a few singing games the words of which have an independent existence in the nursery ... ,1 Extending their field of study beyond the nursery the same writers stress that 'the scraps of lore which children learn from each other are at once more real, more immediately serviceable, and more vastly entertaining to them than anything which they learn from grown-ups'. More importantly, the se well known authorities on the subject state: 'Such a verse ... can be as traditional and as well known to children as a nursery rhyme; yet no one would mis­ take it for one of Mother Goose's compositions.

  • We Will Rock You”
    “We Will Rock You” By Queen and Ben Elton At the Hippodrome Theatre through October 20 By Princess Appau WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS When one walks into the Hippodrome Theatre to view “We Will Rock You,” the common expectation is a compilation of classic rock and roll music held together by a simple plot. This jukebox musical, however, surpasses those expectations by entwining a powerful plot with clever updating of the original 2002 musical by Queen and Ben Elton. The playwright Elton has surrounded Queen’s songs with a plot that highlights the familiar conflict of our era: youths being sycophants to technology. This comic method is not only the key to the show’s success but also the antidote to any fear that the future could become this. The futuristic storyline is connected to many of Queen’s lyrics that foreshadow the youthful infatuation with technology and the monotonous lifestyle that results. This approach is emphasized by the use of a projector displaying programmed visuals of a futuristic setting throughout the show. The opening scene transitions into the Queen song “Radio Gaga,” which further affirms this theme. The scene includes a large projection of hundreds of youth, clones to the cast performing on stage. The human cast and virtual cast are clothed alike in identical white tops and shorts or skirts; they sing and dance in sublime unison, defining the setting of the show and foreshadowing the plot. Unlike most jukebox musicals the plot is not a biographical story of the performers whose music is featured. “We Will Rock You” is set 300 years in the future on the iPlanet when individuality and creativity are shunned and conformity reigns.

  • Tour Dates Announced for We Will Rock You Australian Tour
    TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED FOR WE WILL ROCK YOU AUSTRALIAN TOUR Producers of the Australian tour of the worldwide smash hit musical WE WILL ROCK YOU today announced the dates and venues for the 2016 Australian national tour. WE WILL ROCK YOU will begin at Sydney’s Lyric Theatre on 30 April 2016, then travel to the Lyric Theatre, QPAC, Brisbane from 3 July; then on to Melbourne’s Regent Theatre from 30 August. Perth’s Crown Theatre follows from November, then the Festival Theatre, Adelaide from January, 2017. Tickets for the Sydney and Melbourne seasons go on sale on 9 October, and Brisbane tickets are on sale from 30 October. Waitlist now for the Perth and Adelaide seasons, which will go on sale next year. Since 2002 over 15 million theatregoers in 17 countries have been thrilled by this awe-inspiring production which is based on the songs of Queen with a book by Ben Elton (The Young Ones, Blackadder, Popcorn). Elton fashioned this hilarious futurist comedy around more than 24 of Queen’s biggest hit songs including We are the Champions, Radio Ga Ga, I Want To Break Free, Somebody To Love, Killer Queen, Don’t Stop Me Now, Under Pressure, Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust and of course, We Will Rock You. WE WILL ROCK YOU reflects the scale and spectacle that marked Queen’s live performances and earned the band its pinnacle position in rock history. With Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor as music supervisors and “a band without parallel in the theatre” behind the cast, the audience can expect WE WILL ROCK YOU to rock as fiercely as the best of Queen’s concerts.

  • Language Development and Emergent Literacy
    Introduction to Language Development and Mobile Infants Emergent Literacy Domains (8 to 18 months) for Mobile Infants Domain Components L1. Receptive Language L2. Expressive Language L3. Communication Skills L4. English Language Development for Dual Language Learners EL1. Engagement in literacy experiences and understanding of books and stories EL2. Phonological awareness EL3. Knowledge and use of books, print and letters ______________________________________________________________________ Here are some important things to know about young infants and their language development and emergent literacy: They use gestures to communicate their needs and wants. For example, they point, pull on a skirt or pants’ leg, and shake their head “No.” They can learn simple sign language for words such as “more”, “eat”, and “drink” They understand more words than they can say. They can follow simple directions such as “Bring me the ball,” or “Show me your belly button, please.” They create long, babbled sentences, then begin to repeat familiar words they hear. They recognize names for many familiar objects such as ball, doggy and keys. They use single-word expressions such as “doggy,” “bye-bye,” and “oh-oh,” then begin to use two-word sentences such as “More milk,” “Where Mommy?” or “Daddy go.” They may say seven to twenty words that adults can understand. This usually occurs between 12 to 18 months. They actively participate in book reading experiences by pointing to pictures, sometimes naming what they see in the pictures, and turning pages. They join in rhyming activities such as songs and nursery rhymes, and in games. By knowing these special things about mobile infants, families and caregivers can better understand how to support their language development and emergent literacy experiences.

    ADDING MULTIMEDIA New Mickey Mouse Plush from Disney and Fisher-Price(R) Grooves with Unprecedented Innovation Reigning Dancing with the Stars Champion Donny Osmond Previews Dance Star Mickey at New York Toy Fair 2010 NEW YORK, Feb 15, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The dance stars align at Toy Fair 2010 as Fisher-Price - a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ:MAT) - and Disney introduce Dance Star Mickey. The original Disney character, who first appeared on merchandise more than 80 years ago, will dance his way into the hearts of a new generation of children this fall. To preview the newest and most interactive Mickey character plush, two of the most beloved and legendary entertainers - Mickey Mouse and Donny Osmond - joined together today to show off some of the season's hottest dance moves.

In partnership with Dixie State University, this year’s celebration will be held at their beautiful, new Legend Solar Stadium. Working with Dixie Days of ’47 and our title sponsors, Canyon Media, Albertsons, Camping World, Intermountain Audiology, and Safari Hospitality, which includes Hilton Garden Inn, Holiday Inn, Fairfield Inn, and Hyatt Place, we are proud to honor the legacy and heritage of our beloved Dixie pioneers.

We celebrate their pioneer heritage, and the legacy that has contributed so much to our communities.

Wagons, handcarts, tepees, the Flying Rocket Man, local entertainment, special guests, and one of the LARGEST firework displays in the valley will delight all in attendance. Through song and dance, this year’s production features more than 150 youth from Vista Charter School, and celebrates the journey and sacrifice of the Dixie trailblazers and their attempt to settle the untamed expanse of southern Utah.
