Welcome to Pottytree Puppets
|
My name is Jo Bryant and I am a trained teacher who runs workshops using puppets and role play to explore aspects of children's behaviour.
I can offer: Fantasy Storytelling - Can you save Mrs Pottytree from falling off her magic carpet, or help Hugo the Giant from squashing his friends? This creative framework allows the children to explore emotions, behaviour and problem solving while having fun. Comedy Puppet Shows - Meet Fred the Purple Monster who has the potential to be very naughty, and Sam the Dragon who likes to scare children. A great introduction to the other sessions on offer, or a stand alone form of light entertainment. Social Education Sessions - We can explore behavioural issues with key stage 1 and 2 children, their teachers and/or parents. For this I employ the help of shy Charlie and 'confused' Meatballs. Puppet Making - Maybe your children would like to make their own movable puppets and then create a puppet show in my theatre? They can even choose their own scenery and props. Not only will they go home with a new puppet friend, but also with the skills to really make it come to life. Puppets can be a useful tool in many situations. As such, I can also work in hospitals, special and secondary schools, parties and even business environments. The most important thing to remember is that puppets are great fun. I look forward to hearing from you. Jo Bryant: 01189 034 992 www.pottytreepuppets.co.uk |
