Well the Preps at Holy Family School in Mt. Waverley had an enjoyable day today. They started the day with our show “Three Animal Stories” and were enjoying being squirted by Blue the fish and also feeding Silly Billy Dog. They then went on to see behind the scenes and discover how the show was put together. After a break they then all made some awesome puppets in one of our puppet making workshops. Here is just a few examples. Thanks to all the adult helpers! Tuesday 19th November 2019.

Today, Monday 18th November I visited St Thomas the Apostle Primary in Greensborough North. I performed “Three Animal Stories” for all the Preps and also for local kindergarten children who may be at the school next year. The preps continued the fun day by then making puppets in one of my puppet making workshops. They produced some sensational puppets and a few of them are here for you to see.

Yesterday the Grade 1/2’s at Mandama Primary School had a great laugh at our show “The Wizard’s Tale” before asking some good questions about how the theatre and puppets worked. The show was then followed up with three puppet making workshops. The first ran yesterday and two more today. They produced some terrific results, thanks for all the help parents and teachers, particularly the wonderful gluers! Here’s just a small sample of the students work.

There are 35 wonderful examples of creations made here, but there were many more that could also have been picked, the students were very creative. Thanks for all the help teachers, particularly the wonderful gluers!
