On Friday morning we had a special guest visit us. Norbert Hausberg of Strings Attached Puppet Theatre has been travelling all over New Zealand this year,doing Marionette performances. He started the year in Bluff, and our show was the last of his Northland tour.
Norbert makes all of his puppets himself, by hand. He performed Rumpelstiltskin and the children all enjoyed the performance. After the show, students had the opportunity to take a tour back stage and see all of the puppet characters up close. Mr Hausberg explained how he makes the puppets do different actions by placing the strings in certain places.
Here’s a few photos from the show!

The puppet show was an inspiration to me and I’m sure that it was to the rest of the school. I enjoyed it very
much and the puppet intertaner was very inspirational to me as a person and would love to see the man again.
