P5B Buddy Puppet Show

Mrs Cave and Mrs Maguire designed a very creative Buddy Puppet Show project. P5B pupils collaborated in groups to write, rehearse and perform playscripts using wooden spoon puppets. An ingenious, motivating and engaging project! P2 Buddies thoroughly enjoyed the Puppet Show performances!

Buddy Puppet Show in P5C

Mrs McVicker's class were joined by Ms Dodds' class for a wonderful end of term show on Thursday 18th December. Pupils in P5 have worked so hard together in groups to write playscripts - all with a twist on the Red Riding Hood story - create puppets of their characters then rehearse and perform to their P2 Buddies.  Such high quality work: in preparation, group work and performance. Outstanding! Encore!

The stage is set...

The audience is ready...

The actors know their lines...

And the performers take a well deserved bow to rapturous applause. Well done, P5!

Icing on the Cake

A hive of activity and creativity in P5A today - from icing homemade biscuits, to making puppets and designing puppet show back drops to decorating Christmas vases.
