In forest schools this week the children had great fun with Ms Wones, Miss Turner and Mrs Bush! They made mud monsters and by the looks of things turned into mud monsters too!! The main thing is they had so much fun

More adventures with Norwich Puppet Theatre...

Day 2...

Today we cracked on with making our puppets. We had already designed them yesterday so cracked straight on with the making! 

We had to listen carefully to Zara's instructions at the start, then after play we used our individuality to turn our puppets into real life characters! 

After we'd enjoyed fishy Friday lunch we looked back at our puppets and our designs and tried to see if we had missed any details. Most people did, so we adapted our designs then PLAYED with them! Some people made puppet shows, some people wrote about their puppet and some people experimented with how it moved and its voice. 

Photos to follow...

Puppet Theatre comes to Hickling - Day 1

Day 1...

Today we welcome Zara from the Norwich Puppet Theatre to school. 

First we did some acting and pretended we were in a range of different habitats/environments. After that we drew the environment that we liked the best.

After playtime we thought about different animals and how we might merge two animals together, like crossing an elephant and a rhino making a rhinophant! 

We then drew a design of our puppet (ready for tomorrow), thinking about what it likes to eat, drink, if it had any predators etc.

After lunch we worked in pairs to create our own backdrops/environments.

Check out the photos below for the end products...they are immense!
