Term 3 - Managing Self through Drama - the art of puppetry!


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!


See below some photos capturing us having a go at a 'can do' puppet attitude!


The children have to:
  • Create a script OR retell a well known picture book 
  • Character depiction - work on creating character traits to bring puppet alive - voice, tension, humour, movement, and timing.  For some of us just simply waiting our turn was challenging enough!






  • Make a series of Stick Puppets and a script to take home for own puppet shows.  Lots of well-known authors and picture books to choose from.











  • Create your own Puppet- each fortnight a new and fun puppet to make will be on offer.   Create texture, detail and interest through textured paper, google eyes, materials, ribbons, glitter, etc
