Batik
Have spent today having fun with artist Bethan Sheff and two groups of children (years 5 & 6), experimenting with batik. The children produced some fab designs, which they are going to turn in to bags.
China project
I am really looking forward to this term, I am working on some amazing projects. These include working on creative curriculum development with a primary school in Castle Bromwich, working on ‘China’ as the topic. We have got some exciting ideas for this project, so watch this space. I will also be working on a variety of projects in a high school in Rugby, including, designing and producing a school learning journal, working across the English and Art departments producing story books and working with Religious Studies to produce prayer books and possibly a prayer garden…..can’t wait!!!
I will post pictures as the projects unfold.

I can’t wait to get involved with some of their activities:)
Japan project
Here are some photos from the couple of days I recently facilitated at Garway Primary School, the children were great and produced some fantastic work. By the end of the two days they were pronouncing their names in Japanese as well explaining aspects of Japanese life and what it is like there, it was great how quickly they picked the information up.
