  • London Landmark Cards
    The London Pack Hello! Thank you so much, from both of us, for downloading these Landmark Cards, we hope you find them useful! ⛩ Many people were surprised that we have offered almost 100 Landmark Cards to download for free; but we have decided to do this to continue to support our classrooms, by providing an Amazon wish list and asking you to donate a gift to our children! It has taken both of us a very long time to design, create and edit these cards over the summer holidays, so we would suggest a price of 10p per card, giving a total cost for all three packs as £9. If you find these cards useful, and would like to show your appreciation, as well as giving back to our classrooms, please do donate through our Amazon wish list, we would be so grateful for any donations. https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/X20XCNEWA6B5?ref_=wl_share Thank you! ⛩ Aims The Landmark Card collections are resources primarily designed to support construction and creation within continuous provision. These cards will not only inspire children to make more ambitious and challenging structures, but also support many other objectives from across the National Curriculum. Description The front of each card has: the name of the landmark; a large photograph, to support construction and design; a timeline with the date it was created, along with other important historical dates for comparison; and a box of facts, which includes materials used, measurements, and other interesting information. On the reverse, there are three parts: a world map showing the seven continents (each colour coded to match the cards); a country map showing the location of the landmark, and an aerial/ satellite image of the landmark, so children can locate it and compare it to other human and physical features nearby.

  • The Editors of Puppetry International Hope You Enjoy Reading Greg Pellone's Full
    The editors of Puppetry International hope you enjoy reading Greg Pellone’s full account of the life and work of Joe Parsonage. MEET JOE PARSONAGE About one year ago, I read an obituary for Mr. Robert Gregg written by Fred Putz in the Winter/Spring 2016/17 Puppeteers of America Puppetry Journal.1 For some reason unknown to me at the time, I had an overwhelming compulsion to try to find out more about Robert. I was eventually put in touch with his widow Christine, who coincidentally lives nearby, and she agreed to meet and tell me more about her husband. Sadly I never had a chance to meet Robert personally, but wish I had. Like me, he was a lifelong puppetry enthusiast. Our paths did cross by strange circumstance in August 2015 when he and Christine visited a large exhibition of our world puppet collection which was sponsored by The Florida CraftArt Gallery in downtown St. Petersburg (see the Fall 2015 POA Puppetry Journal2). While they were there, Robert had asked to meet me, but for some reason I was never informed and unfortunately we never met. Also like me, Robert was a Punch and Judy fan, and an old set of Punch and Judy puppets that he had purchased some years ago from “Uncle Ted” Raub, a television personality in Pennsylvania, were among his favorites. Those puppets are now a permanent part of the Pellone/Barrett Puppet Collection with much gratitude to both Robert and his wife and to Mr. David Wilde, notable British Punch and Judy collector and historian who positively identified them as Joe Parsonage’s work.3 All puppets in the collection are photographed, archived and cataloged with pertinent information.
