PUPPETS

Puppets

 When and where were the first puppets made?

Most people who are puppeteers will agree that puppetry’s roots were formed in china.

The first puppets were made out of socks in America.

China made shadow puppets as stretched donkey skins, dried sheep skin, water buffaloes, pigs and even fish!!!!

What is ice dance

                   Ice Dance

              By Fiona and Anoud 

Ice dance is a form of figure skating that originated from ballroom dancing and ballet.

Ice dancing is all about expression, showing your artistic nature, movement on ice and telling a story.

 

In Europe it is also know as ballet on ice or theatre on ice.

People will skate and dance to music to help tell a story. It is normally done without speaking.

Clever Clogs

Grace whipped up this balloon poodle in no time this morning ( and generously gave it to Mr Lynch's daughter!) At breaktime she showed classmates how to make a balloon flower. A talented girl!

Fiona holds her origami box. She completed all the origami designs in her origami book. There were no more to do so she challenged herself by doing miniature ones!
