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 →

The first time I worked for Elsternwick Primary School was in 1996 for the Out of School Hours Care. I have also been running shows and workshops for the Preps since 2005! Today I continued the tradition with this years Preps. They made some super puppets as you can see from the few examples below. Thanks to the parents for helping, much appreciated. Friday 7th June 2019.

On Monday the Grade 3/4’s at Brunswick North were entertained with “Circus With Punch” and the ‘behind the scenes’ secrets. They have also now all participated in one of five puppet making workshops. These are just a few samples from their wondrous imaginations. Monday 3rd, Tuesday 4th & Wednesday 5th June 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. Monday 27th, Wednesday 29th & Friday 31st May 2019.

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.

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.
