Bronwyn, our favourite story teller

Bronwyn is our toddlers’ favourite puppet lady. The children and the teachers love her puppet show so much. We will all gather together, listen actively, and be amused by her story-telling with the puppets. We all go to the mat when we hear that Bronwyn is going to have a puppet show.

According to Greensmith (2012), puppets can stimulate children's imagination, encourage creative play and are a wonderful interactive way to introduce narrative to even the most reluctant reader. They can be a powerful way of bringing story time to life, and a really effective approach in which to teach the children the values of tales in an entertaining and fun way – and one that will stick in their minds.
