This term our unit of inquiry has been about toys from the past and present. We have been investigating how they have changed or stayed the same over the years. We have looked at many toys that we had never seen before. During our discussions we have looked at what toys were made of in the olden days and what they are made of today. There are many toys that are still the same as the olden day ones but they are now made of plastic and need batteries or electricity to move.
Yesterday, as a conclusion to our topic we watched Pinocchio.Pinocchio was a toy that was made a long time ago, but marionette puppets are still used today.We had a fun day today because we made our own puppets using cardboard and split pins. What colourful puppets they were!
If you watch this short movie clip you will see us moving our puppets to one of the songs in the film.
I really enjoyed seeing your Pinocchios which you made! I remember having a puppet like this when I was little!
The Pinocchio puppets are great. You all must love your puppets. This is our last week before holidays…yahoooo
