puppet portal day 1 phase 2
Today was the first day back for the puppet portal. On the general theme of journey and also based on the fact that it is recycable week. We made are puppets out of milk bottles. The characters where based on such historical characters as Hitler, Tutankhamen and Marie Antoninette. There was a group of 9 kids aged from 5 to 15 that took part and most of them where able to see the project through which was great. We talked about are characters while we made them. Then the boys decided to be incharge of recording sound and video. We unfortunately couldnt get the video recorder to work, so plan b, we went out on the ward with a camera and recorder, we where greated with smiling patients,doctors and parents and had a photo shoot down the ward. We stopped at the nurses station where the puppets met the nurses and the the nurses guessed who everyone was. We then went back to the classroom and loaded and edited the photographs onto the laptop, they picked the music to go with the pictures along with the sound recorded.
In the afternoon we where suppose to link up with finnula to work with sound over ait eile but unfortunately limerick was experiencing problems which will hopefully be rectified by next week. So I went out to the day ward and worked with one boy age 6 and his 3 year old sister,with alot of help from there mom we made two really fun puppets that played lots of shaky instruments.
A really nice day back to the puppet portal
