Rossmoyne PS students bring personality to puppets

Pia van StraalenCanning Gazette

Pre-primary to Year 4 students evolved their puppet creations over the term, going from finger puppets to sock puppets, cup puppets, spoon puppets, peg puppets and pop-up puppets creating personalities and poetry to go with their new friends.

Teacher Leonie Banks said the project ended in an election, where children voted for the winning pieces– and had to count the results as a way to incorporate maths into learning.

Boran Yang won first prize with his cup puppet dragon, second place went to Ben Parker who created an Elmo sock puppet and a stick puppet named Selista by Aimee Chen won third prize.
