Encore (Performing Arts)

We have spent some time learning how to sew the gloves for our puppets. Alexi and Sydney-May came to help us and did a wonderful job. Thanks girls.

We all helped each other.
We are proud of our work!

Similes

We have been practising using interesting similes and describing words. Here are some colour similes. We published them on paint. What do you think?

Puppet Art

We made our clowns look like dancing puppets on strings. We are proud of them. What do you think? We would love to get some comments.

Encore (Performing Arts)

We are going to make our own puppet show. We have lots to do! Our first step is to make our puppets. This is what we have done so far.....


Step 1
We had to screw up a ball of paper and tape it to the end of a stick. Then we ripped strips of paper and put them in paste then paste them over the ball to make a head.




Step 2
We made bumps for eyes and noses and ears and made sure the strips covered all the bumps so they won't fall off.




Step 3
We covered all the newspaper with white paper.

Keep an eye on our blog to see what we do next!
