Puppet Portal Hospital C Day 15

Lots of fun with our Halloween theme today. We made spooky pop-out puppets with gruesome faces. 


Due to special one-to-one needs of our participants today we concentrated mainly on the activity of making and recording, not too much on story development.  Its a challenge to negotiate how to allow freedom for play and when to know to install a little structure for those that respond best to that.  These are the times when I most appreciate the classroom support  of the teacher I am working with.  I feel very lucky that her approach is so stabilising and yet so open to the inevitable adaptations that these circumstances demand. It certainly makes me appreciate the value of mutual pastoral care.


We really enjoyed the video link up and meeting other spooky puppets - very ghostly creatures!  It was like wandering through a real ghost house.


Happy Halloween!
