I offer two different incursions for schools. SHOWS and WORKSHOPS. My SHOWS program includes a puppet show as described on other pages, and are also followed up with my unique ‘show and tell’ session. My puppet making WORKSHOPS are a separate entity or indeed can be done as a follow up to the show session. Continue Reading →

I was at one of my regular schools, Hughesdale Primary School, yesterday and today. Yesterday the Preps got to enjoy “The Wizard’s Tale” and it’s ‘behind the scenes’ exploration. The students then followed it up with three puppet making workshops. These are just a sample of some of the wonderful creations they made. Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th May 2019.
TEACHERS: Check out the puppets from my previous years visits HERE.

Grade 1/2 teachers and students at Morang South Primary School should be commended. Yesterday morning they (even the teachers 🙂 ) sat beautifully during the performance of “The Wizard’s Tale” and joined in sensibly when appropriate during the interactive show. I also ran three workshops for them and they all ran very smoothly with the kids staying on task the entire time. You can see the evidence here in just a small sample of their puppet creations. Thursday 15th & Friday 16th November 2018.

Here are just a few examples of their work. Monday 12th & Tuesday 13th November 2018.
