INQUIRY

Our inquiry unit this term was focused on design and technology. The children worked through the process of designing and creating a movable puppet. The children received a design brief and were asked to create a puppet that met the given criteria. They spent an extensive amount of time designing and researching appropriate materials to use. They also explored the history of puppets, including different kinds of puppets, where puppets came from, and what they are used for. At the conclusion of the unit, children created a sock or paper bag puppet, which they were able to present to the class.
