This video was made in the Antwerp, Belgium Central Train Station on March 23, 2009.
With no warning to the passengers passing through the station,
at 8:00 AM., a recording of Julie Andrews singing 'Do, Re, Mi'
begins to play on the public address system.
As the bemused passengers watch in amazement,
some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.
They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals! Turn up the volume & Enjoy!

Batman's eyebrows expert Carrie Harris has tagged me. Careful I don't tag you (evil laugh, which isn't really that evil at all).
Four goals I have in the next five years:
1. Sign with an agent.
2. Buy agent lots of pressies.
3. Make agent very rich.
4. Perfect evil laugh.
Four places I will visit someday:
1. New York
2. San Francisco - probably around the time the earthquake hits.
3. Pompeii
4. Hawaii
Four of my favourite foods:
1. Chocolate
2. Tuna Salad
3. Scouse
4. Pancakes with heaps of sugar and lemon juice. YUM!
Four jobs I've had:
1. Croupier - until the wee ball flew off the roulette wheel and travelled down a 'not-very-happy' man's arm.
2. Encouraged people to gamble in a betting shop - until a knife incident.
3. Scraped food off plates in a restaurant - never ate in that restaurant again.
4. Filed HIV reports.
Two places I've lived:
1. Morden Street :) Where I grew up
2. Radnor Place :) Where there were ghosts
Two places I'd like to live:
1. The unadventurous answer - Southport
2. The slightly more adventurous answer - San Francisco
Four things I'd do with my spare time, if I had any:
1. Learn to fly a plane (a small one not a jumbo jet). Though I can't drive a car!!!
2. Watch DVDs, read books, veg out.
3. Spend more time with my nephews and niece.
4. Learn to sing!!! (okay, why did the room just empty)
So who do I tag, EVERYONE!!! Only kidding - do it if you want to and don't if you don't.

This Upcoming Tuesday - June 10th - - 8PM ET– Mary Jo Huff speaks about early literacy begins with rhythm rhyme & story time on the Art of Storytelling with Children.
Mary Jo writes…
Language is critical for literacy development and storytelling creates an interactive bridge. Music, repeated phrases, and actions provide connections and invite participation by children when they become part of the storytelling event.
Working in schools demands that the storyteller is tuned into the state literacy standards. Storytelling connects many types of standards but I am only concentrating on the literacy connection. A good story challenges a child’s auditory, visual, and kinesthetic skills along with a phonemic awareness.
Performing in schools as a storyteller gives a teller the opportunity to address some reading readiness components such as repetition, retelling, rhyming and sequencing. When teachers are aware of what the stories have to offer they are amazed at the children’s reaction. Children develop their oral language skills by learning to tell and retell stories. They learn about their world, other cultures, visual imagery, moral and social issues and they increase listening skills.
Literacy standards connections to look for when telling stories for children:
• Phonological Awareness
• Understanding Stories
• Book Awareness
• Comprehension
• Word Awareness
• Story Enjoyment
Mountains of information are available for review and it can be mind boggling. Check out these organizations for documentation of literacy standards and review for connections to your type of storytelling.
• International Reading Association
• National Council of Teachers of English
• National Association for the Education of Young Children
Play with the sounds of language using songs, rhymes, chants and stories. Get excited about what you do. This life of mine is a passion and I work at it everyday in one way or another. Over the years I have been successful because I spent 35 years in the trenches with young children and also attended numerous conferences and developed a love for my life. I rely on my experiences to connect my storytelling to the world I live in and to share my experiences with anyone who will listen!
More about Mary Jo
I have 35 years as an Early Childhood Educator and 20 years as a storyteller. I believe in my heart that children who listen to stories develop a great vocabulary and understanding of their world. I used storytelling in the classroom and began visiting schools, libraries and doing workshops for teachers and librarians. In this period of time I have been in all but 7 states and visited with thousands of children and adults. Children need excitement, music, props and I like puppets with my storytelling. I am not a puppeteer I just play with puppets and I play with story.
Today I work as an author, storyteller, consultant, teaching artist and granny-on-the-go! I am a good traveler and my fluff goes with me wherever I go to tell stories. Children are hungry to hear a good told story and they connect especially when there is a little rhythm and rhyme. I have 7 books published and working on a couple at this moment along with 3 CDs and my favorite a new DVD called “Fairy Tales, Fantasy, and Storytellin’ Fun!.

Teddy bear, teddy bear,Turn around.
Teddy bear, teddy bear,Touch the ground.
Primula taught me this song this morning, and the other toys had fun joining in, even though most of them aren't bears. Primula said it didn't matter - she said people love this song, too.
So, after a little singing session was over I started wondering about other songs about bears and I went cruising the Internet. I think google was created just for curious bears such as myself, to satisfy our whimsical curiosities.
Anyway,I found a whole lot of songs about bears, here. I've heard Teddy bear's Picnic before (I think I've even blogged about that one), and of course Primula has been teaching me Teddy bear, teddy bear, but I was surprised just how many there were. My favourite was You are my teddy bear sung to the tune of You are my sunshine. I wonder if I can get Primula to sing it to me?
But some of the songs I didn't like, because they suggested bears are scary and should be hunted or run away from. One even mentioned a gun! I think I might have nightmares tonight.
No I won't - because Primula is here with me, safe in the toyroom. She's a wonderful friend, is Primula.
Gotta go sing.

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens… Primula taught me this song today, all about favourite things, as sung by Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. And it got me thinking about my favourite things. So, I thought I’d share them.
1. Primula (of course) as it was her that taught me to sing.
2. Singing. Almost any song will do, but I specially like happy ones.
3. Hugs. I’m a hugging kind of a guy. The world would be a better place if more people would hug more often.
4. Poetry. Both writing it and reading it. Again, especially happy ones.
5. Blogging. I love being a blogging bear.
6. Friends. There are lots of them here in the toy room.
7. Laughter. I love hearing other people laugh. It never fails to make me happy, too.
So there you have it.
