The children and families took part in activities  to raise funds for a visit by  Clydebuilt Threatre  who performed ‘Gingerbread Man’.

The children thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be part of an audience and watched in fascination as the puppeteer told the story with simple props.  Anticipating what might happen next.

Poppy whispered.

 “What’s going to happen Mrs Duncan?

What’s her doing ?

It might be a ghost?!?….Look her made water!”

 

Olivia enjoyed the dramatic setting.

“I liked the house on the hill and the mountain.”

Jonah was delighted by the drama.

“My favourite bit was when the gingerbread man woke up and broke all the house up!”

 

 After the performance the children had the opportunity to have a closer look at the puppets and props. This stimulated their ideas for making their own puppets in the nursery and developing their story telling.

Ivy shared. “I liked the lady showing us all the puppets.”
