Irmgard Richie Puppet Show Irmgard Richie Kindergarten in Upper Hutt enjoyed a wonderful puppet show this week. The Little Dog Barking Company entertained tamariki and teachers with stories and waiata about planting a kowhai tree and practicing kaitiaki and manaaki for the environment. After the show tamariki showed a real interest in gardening and watering plants and the vegetable garden!
