Hand Alive Puppet Show!!

Today at Uxbridge we had Hands Alive Puppet theatre come to us.  The children had been super excited in the build up and we were not disappointed.  There was fun and laughter as the puppets made a cake with some funny ingredients.  Who ate the cake?  It was the monster!! Grandpa also had us laughing with his different hats.   With all story telling there is usually an underlying message and this was never give up and that our hands are really useful and can do good things.

Christine also showed us all the useful things we can do with our hands, wave hello, make a turtle and a butterfly.  How cool is that!

With such an interest in books and literacy in the centre at the moment it was great for the children to experience a different form of storytelling and certainly inspired the children to put on their own puppet shows with the range of puppets we have here. We found it really interesting that we can become different characters just by using our voice and changing the sound.  Teacher Haley gave us a great demonstration.


What a fantastic afternoon of entertainment, thank you Christine from Hands Alive Puppets.
















When we asked the children what happened in the show, this is what they said

"Made a cake", everyone shouted "with Cheese, "and worms" said Deanne "and carrots" said Louie.

Grace said "the funniest thing was Grandpa’s hat!".

Benjamin said "It was funny because it had bells"

"What about the mouse" said Jack "And the frog" said Declan "And the cake" said Jack.
