Dear parents,
This term in Visual Art, the Ara Teina children
will be making a family of puppets and their own puppet theatre. Both need to
reflect your family’s cultural identity. We would appreciate it if you would
talk with your child about their cultural heritage and where they come from so
that they can talk about it at school.
We need your help to gather together the
resources needed for your child to make the puppets and puppet theatre. As our
overall theme this year is sustainability, we would ask that you try to recycle
or reuse as many materials as possible.
How
you can help…
Please collect the following items…
1. An
old cardboard box (a little bigger than a shoe box is perfect) or a trifold
display board (These can be purchased from Warehouse Stationery)
2. A
tube/pot of acrylic paint that can be used to paint your child’s puppet
thea
§ 3. Popsicle
sticks or wooden/plastic spoons that can be used to make a family of puppets
4. A
photo of each member of your family.
5. Fabric scraps, ribbon for the curtain.
5. Fabric scraps, ribbon for the curtain.
6. Hot
glue gun & glue (optional)
Please have the resources at school by 20th
of October. Thank you for your help!
On Thursday 23rd of October, we
would like to invite you to school to help your child make a set of puppets and a puppet theatre to
represent their family if you are available. We will start straight after the
roll at 9:00.
Please be in touch if you have any
questions.
Regards,
Ara Teina teachers
