Wildlife Puppet Build & Performance-- Artists in Education
Ms. Keelan's class completed their animal puppets! Students worked in groups, to create and perform short skits that were performed for each other. Definitely entertaining!
 
After my time in the school was over, the students gathered fun facts about each of their animals, then wrote and created a whole class performance. Puppet play written and performed for school by Grade 5 students at Ripley- Huron Community School. Grade 5 Wildlife Puppet Play

  Wildlife Puppet and Performance Project   It was a busy winter. I was in the classroom with Grade 5s at Ripley-Huron Community School. Here, students work together on a group challenge to move various items using a rubber band tied with individual strings. The students made puppet faces constructed from paper plates, cups and recycled cardboard held together with strong paper mache. Everyone made there own eyes, then colour is being blocked in with glue and tissue paper. Paws on sticks are also being made at the same time. Love seeing all the indigenous animals they've chosen!

Wildlife Puppet and Performance Project   Starting in January 2018, grades 5 and 7/8 welcomed me into their classrooms at Ripley Huron Community School. We talked about our local wildlife, then students painted sketches of their chosen regional animal. There was a wide variety of animals including mammals, birds, reptiles and rodents. Each workshop began with a demo. Students then constructed their rod puppets using newspaper, dowels, rope, tape and paper mache.
