Please take your seats...

Our drama centre has been a very busy place lately!  The students have been busy creating, producing and performing many different puppet plays.  What began as mostly retells of stories we've recently read, has blossomed into original creations.


Often, when a "show" is ready to begin, you will see students from other parts of the room make their way over to the puppet show.  Slowly but surely, a crowd gathers.  Last week, the students creating and performing the puppet show decided to make it more official.  They set up seats, walked around asking everyone to "sign up" so they could get into the show, and invited everyone to "take their seats" when the show was ready to begin.

The planning begins...

Checking to see if you are on the list... 

The audience taking their seats...(The "manager" informed them that they could read until the show started!)

Making sure everyone was in the right seat...

The play begins...

Our puppeteers...

As you can see, the audience really enjoyed the show!

We can't wait to see what happens next in our drama centre.  It is an amazing opportunity for students to develop oral language, cooperate with others, express creativity and learn to problem solve. Stay tuned for the next big show!
