Stage 3 students with a flair for writing and creating interesting stories about animals had the opportunity to combine their writing talents and drama expertise at the Literacy and Puppets Workshop. Using puppets as the means to tell the story, the drama created was performed and filmed – Tanja PS film is shown here.
