For our Grade One class assembly we wrote our own version of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ called ‘The Enormous Watermelon’. We based the story in a Singapore setting and used characters for the story from Singapore. After writing the script we made all the characters as stick puppets. To draw them we used youtube tutorials to help us. We tried using them as shadow puppets first, but decided we liked having the puppets be seen from the top of the puppet theatre. We had worked so hard on on the details and colour we thought it looked nicer. We practiced saying our part from the script, holding the puppet and doing actions - it took some work to coordinate all these things! Then we took a look at the puppet theatre and decided it needed to extra scenery, we wanted a sky and grass. Then we added details as well as a title. We used good teamwork in preparing for our assembly. Enjoy the video of our puppet show below!
