Puppets and Parfaits


We, the Explorers and Discoverers, shared our learning about mechanisms. We created puppets using a simple mechanism.  We performed a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, "Doll On A Music Box/Truly Scrumptious".

The puppet making process was very challenging. A lot of us had to start from scratch more than once as our puppets weren't big enough. 

Thank you for coming to see our learning journey. 


Sneak peek of our Expo

We look forward to seeing you at 2:15.
