Should Punch & Judy shows be closed down?

In Year 1 we have been learning about the Victorian seaside. We received a letter from Frinton Council to tell us that they are considering closing down Punch & Judy shows. We were very upset and wanted to find out why! We watched a video of a Punch & Judy show and talked in our trios.


Some of us thought that the Punch & Judy show was funny. Some of us thought that it was cruel and that Mr Punch was very unkind. We decided that we could keep the puppet show but change the character of Mr Punch so that he is still funny but kind as well!


We made up new stories for the Punch & Judy show using puppets in our table groups before performing them to the rest of the class in our puppet theatre!
