Hey there! We have some exciting news to share. First, we just got a brand new steel drum! Marco, can you give it a try?
[Music]
We’re also preparing for an open house to welcome new students. Everyone will work in pairs to create a special poster about what Camembert Academy means to them. Alice and I will make a poster together, and we have so many fun ideas! We want to include a big tutu, ballet slippers, and a smiling mouse face.
Let’s see who will work together. Vicky will pair up with Azzy, and Angelina will pair up with Alice.
“Wait, what? I wanted to be with Alice!” Angelina exclaimed.
“This time, I want you to try working with someone new,” Ms. Mimi explained.
Angelina and her partner had different ideas. One wanted frills and sparkles, while the other thought of music and soccer balls. They decided to split the poster in half, but it didn’t work out well.
“We can’t give Ms. Mimi this; it’s a mess!” they realized.
Ms. Mimi suggested using the other side of the paper to start fresh.
Meanwhile, Alice and her partner were having fun. “For me, dancing and games are what Camembert means,” Alice said. They decided to draw dancing mice and friendship symbols.
Vicky and Azzy were excited too. “Camembert means tap dance, hip hop, and music,” they said. They combined their ideas into one big drawing.
Angelina and her partner struggled but then had a great idea. “What about a collage?” they thought. They decided to use circles to represent different things like sports, ballet, and music.
It was time to show the posters. Alice’s group talked about dancing and friendship. Vicky and Azzy shared their music and art creation.
When it was Angelina and Marco’s turn, they were worried. “Our poster is a big mess,” they said. But Ms. Mimi saw potential. “I see Marco’s steel drum and all the interesting things you’ve gathered,” she said.
They decided to fill each circle with something special about Camembert, like sports, ballet, and music. They were excited to finish it!
Everyone realized that Camembert Academy is a place for dancing, music, art, and friendship. They were proud to show new students what makes their school so special.

Create Your Own Poster: At home, think about what makes your school special to you. Use paper and crayons or markers to create your own poster. You can draw pictures of your favorite activities, friends, or anything else that makes your school unique. Share your poster with your family and explain why you chose those things.
Teamwork Challenge: Pair up with a sibling or a friend and choose a topic you both like, such as animals or space. Work together to create a small project, like a drawing or a short story. Remember to listen to each other’s ideas and find a way to include both of your thoughts. Discuss how working together helped make your project better.
Observation Walk: Take a walk around your neighborhood or school and observe the different things you see. Look for things that remind you of the activities at Camembert Academy, like music, sports, or art. Make a list or draw pictures of what you find. Share your observations with your class and talk about how these things make your community special.

I have two important announcements. First, we just got a brand new steel drum! Marco, would you mind testing it out?
[Music]
Second, we’re going to be having an open house soon for new students, so I would like all of you to work in pairs. Alice, you and I will create a poster that shows what Camembert Academy means to each of you.
Camembert means so much to me; I can’t imagine that one poster would ever be big enough. Alice and I had so many ideas for our poster! There should be a big tutu and a pair of ballet slippers with a big smiling mouse’s face in the middle.
I love it!
For our poster project, I’m going to start by putting you all into pairs.
[Music]
Vicky will be paired up with Azzy. Yay! Angelina will be paired up with Alice.
Wait, what? But I wanted to be paired up with Alice!
We’ve already talked about it. Sorry, Angelina, but you and Alice always pair up together. This time, I want you to be with someone else so you can explore different approaches and styles.
Oh no! So what should we do for this poster then?
Well, I was thinking we should put frills all around the outside and a big tutu in the middle, and some ballet slippers, and maybe some bows and lots of sparkles. So what do you think?
Well, it’s okay, but it’s not really what Camembert means to me.
So what does Camembert mean to you then?
Music, drums, jazz, trees, and soccer balls.
Soccer balls? I’m not having soccer balls on my poster!
Well, I’m not having sparkles on mine or a big tutu!
Oh no, what are we going to do? We’re supposed to be working together.
You stay on your side, and I’ll stay on mine, and no going over the line.
That’s what Camembert means to me.
[Music]
This is what Camembert means to me.
You’ve gone over my side!
Well, how am I supposed to draw a drum kit in that small space?
Draw it smaller!
We can’t give Ms. Mimi this; it’s a great big mess!
My soccer ball looks good.
We need to start again. Can I please have another piece of paper for our poster, Ms. Mimi?
Maybe you should turn over the piece you’ve got and use the other side, Angelina.
Okay, Ms. Mimi.
How’s it going?
Um, okay. I wonder how everyone else is doing.
Oh, that’s a great idea, Alice! For me, dancing and games and laughing is what Camembert means to me, so I’ll do a dance pose like this.
[Music]
Yes, and I’ll draw the other mouse things all around you because friendship is what Camembert means to me.
We’re the best team ever, Alice!
I wonder how Azzy and Vicky are getting along.
Camembert means tap dance, hip hop, balancing on your toes, sliding on your feet.
Fantastic! That is so cool! Now come on, let’s put that in our poster.
[Music]
Okay, you like music and I like dance, so you draw music mouselings and I’ll draw dancing mouselings.
No line this time.
No line, just one big drawing. Let’s go!
[Music]
That’s a yucky green, and I don’t like pink either.
Your tuba-playing mouse is crushing my ballet-dancing mouse!
Your jazz-dancing mouse is on top of my drumming mouse!
Okay, I’ll erase it.
You just erase some of mine.
I’m going to erase some of yours.
[Music]
Look what you’ve done!
[Music]
This is the last one I’m afraid, Angelina.
[Music]
Well, I don’t know what to do. I’m just going to practice my pliés.
And I’m going to play the steel drums.
[Music]
Jazz and hip hop, lunchtime theater, dancing and laughing and friendship.
Camembert is special.
[Music]
The dancing is my favorite part, but I love music and I love art.
Come on!
[Music]
Playing games and laughing makes my heart want to sing.
[Music]
A special place to me.
[Music]
All of a sudden, I had an idea!
What about a collage?
Look what I found! We can stick them on!
I’ve been drawing the steel drum; look at this!
You just drew on our last piece of paper!
Yes, with my steel drum circles, but circles aren’t very interesting.
Azzy and Vicky are splatting paint!
Well, sticking stuff on a piece of paper will just look messy.
[Music]
I’d like to see all your posters in the classroom now.
[Music]
Oh no!
[Music]
So what does your poster say about Camembert?
Well, Gracie is doing a really fun dance with all my friends around me, so our poster is about dancing and loving and friends.
Very nice, I like that!
What are we going to say? Ours is nowhere near finished!
Ours is nowhere near started!
Azzy and Vicky, this is very exciting! Tell me about it.
We played the harmonica and made up a new dance with our paintbrushes because Camembert is all about music and art and movement. I can really feel the energy; you’ve done a good job!
Oh no, we’re next!
So Angelina and Marco, what have you got to show me?
Uh, well…
Oh, we couldn’t agree on anything, Ms. Mimi, so our poster is a big mess.
It’s not a mess; it’s just not finished. I think you both worked very well together.
Huh?
I can see Marco’s steel drum with all its circles, and I see all those interesting things you’ve gathered.
I wonder…
Yeah, yeah! We could put a bit of Camembert in each circle! One could have sports in it, and one could have ballet with ribbons, and one with sparkles, and one with soccer balls, and one with drums. We’ll have this finished in no time!
[Music]
I really think this will show the new students what Camembert is all about.
I absolutely positively think so too!
You and Marco did a great job, thank you!
So where is Marco?
I think I know.
[Music]
