I am spending the entire week at Croydon Hills Primary School. On Tuesday the grade 3/4’s were lucky to start the term with a couple of show sessions of “The Wizard’s Tale”. The rest of the week, and one day next week, I am running a workshop for each class. The first six sessions ran very smoothly with some sensational results, including a few shown here. Thanks to the parents for helping, much appreciated. Wed. 17th, Thurs. 18th July & Friday 19th July 2019.

I started running incursions at Vermont Primary School back in 2000. Last Friday I ran two performances of “The Wizard’s Tale” and am this week running six puppet making workshops over three days. The first two ran Monday, the second two Wednesday and the last sessions today, all with sensational results. I must say the students were very much on task all day and listened and followed instructions beautifully. Congratulations. Here is a sample of some of the students puppets.
