The Here/There Project

Using a grant from the Sydney Myer Foundation, the school concert this year will be a show using puppets and music designed by and for the students of Coburg Primary School.

Progress report:

The Here/There project is going very well! Nearly every class has had a go at designing and beginning making their puppets for our performance in August. The prep/1s have made beautiful body part puppets, the 1/2 s have created shadow puppets of people, animals and vehicles, the 3/4s have begun making rod people puppets, the 5/6s are making aliens, people disguised as aliens and special effect body puppets...Yes, there is an alien theme developing! Thanks heaps to our parent helpers, you make the process much easier, so keep it up! Also thanks to the teachers and staff for assisting the project, we really appreciate it.

We need boxes! Please if you have large boxes (from fruit boxes to fridge boxes!) Please bring them in to either the office on the senior side or the hall on the junior side in the next two weeks.

Thanks for everyone's enthusiasm, the kids have been overflowing with creative ideas and excitement!
