We made it – half term is here!
It was lovely to meet you all this week and discuss your
child’s progress and how well the children have settled into Year 2.
Throughout the week the children used their imagination and
created very detailed finger and hand puppets using a variety of materials. Some of the children found the
sewing a little tricky but I was pleased they all persevered and succeeded in
sewing their puppet. The children used their puppets to create a story and
storyboard along with performing this to the class. The children very much
enjoyed expressing their creative imagination.
Home learning
Following on the topic of puppets. I would like the children
to create a moving puppet of their choice. We have looked at lots of different
ideas. The children will discuss their character and materials they have used
to the class.
Date for the puppets to be in by is 15th November
2018.
