Self management is a key skill that will help you throughout your life. It involves setting goals and managing your time. Developing your motivation and concentration skills will help you hone lifelong learning skills. Effective self-management aims to avoid stress, develop confidence, and provide you with more opportunities to get involved within school and the wider community.
A key skill in self-management is self regulation. Self-regulation refers to individuals monitoring, controlling and directing aspects of their learning for themselves.
The ACE challenge this term was to practice all these self managing skills through the art of puppetry!
The children have to:
- create a script OR retell a well known picture book - The Allen Centre decided to celebrate the works of Julia Donaldson
- make a stick puppet - watercolour or colour pencil, then outline. Create texture, detail and interest through textured paper, google eyes, materials, ribbons, glitter, etc
- character depiction - work on creating character traits to bring puppet alive - voice, tension, humour, movement, timing
During lunchtimes and book time the library has been filled with children's own puppet shows, as we work towards the individual class puppet shows.
See below some photos capturing us having a go at a 'can do' puppet attitude!
