The Scientist Who Needed A Friend

Jake had an idea to create a mystery story about a scientist and his appearance in a school yard. The children in the playground are playing with Moshlings. The scientist does his best to find himself a friend.

Let's take a look at the video:

The Lion Cub

Gyda wrote such a good story about an African Reserve that it was turned into script for a puppet theatre. When a lion cub is found by itself and wounded, the team at the reserve go into action. Gyda hopes that you enjoy her story.

A Touch of Greek Mythology

James, Robert and Ibrahim wrote stories based on the Greek myth about Medusa. Jordyn had fun using her puppet in the role of Medusa. Neve works the narrator puppet.

Let's take a look at how their story pans out.

Sharing our Puppet Theatres at Syndicate Assembly

After writing narrative stories, a number were selected to be re-written as script for puppet theatres. We had fun making our wooden spoon puppets and having parents come in to work with us during the making process. They looked so real when they were finished. We spent two weeks learning the scripts. Some of us took them home to read for homework.

Last week we ran the Middle Syndicate Assembly so that we had an audience to perform our puppet theatres to. The video footage of each puppet theatre is posted separately because of their length. Find the Puppet Theatre label and the title that you would like to view.



The first video is based on Toby's mystery story about the pyramids in Egypt. Toby was interested in the treasure recovered over the years. He wanted to know what happened to it. Maybe some families from our school were in Melbourne for the recent Tutehkahmen exhibition. Passages of Toby's story were used in this puppet theatre.

What problems could exist? .....
