The Lion King another of my favourite disney movies and the musical is brilliant girls (I only went to see if four times when I lived in London) and for this weeks theme on Music, Drama and Art we are going to bring it to life again. Hakuna Matata, the Swahili phrase for “there are no worries”, is one of the most important life lessons that Simba learns when he meets Timon and Pumba after he runs away from the kingdom. They teach him to replace his worries with happiness, love and hope. I think we have all had to use 'Hakuna Matata' over the past few weeks to overcome all our worries and fears about Covid 19. Whenever we feel a bit sad or under the weather, we need to remember like Simba that there are so many reasons to be happy. Remember all the good times we have had in school, and that there is so much to look forward to again. Overall, The Lion King teaches us that we can overcome any challenge life throws our way, if we don’t let worries overwhelm us. "As you go through life, you will see that there is so much that we don’t understand. And the only thing we know is things don’t always go the way we plan."... Simba “Repeat after me: Hakuna Matata.” – Timon “It’s the Circle of Life and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, ’til we find our place on the path unwinding.” – Rafiki The Circle of Life ‘The Circle of Life’, how the story ends as it began, with Rafiki presenting the newborn son of The Lion King to the pride, part of an unending cycle. Mufasa tells Simba that all creatures depend upon each other, that we all have a place in the Circle of Life, and how Simba’s journey helps him to discover his true place in that circle. Circles are used in the production of The Lion King e.g. The great sun, Mufasa's mane. We also learn about the effect of breaking the circle - Scar's jealousy towards his own brother and nephew, and we know what her did to Mufasa. Now it is time to bring the story to life...
