Setting up Art Activities for special events, occasions.
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 9:35 am
Hi All
I have had no training over the last few years on the EYLF, so am a bit overwhelmed with it all, know the basics and that's it
I have been working with the 3 years age group approx.
I have recently been appointed as a Room Leader, which I am happy about.
I know this group well, I have not stepped up as Room Leader previously for a few reasons.
What I would like to know is, when setting up a Activity for children for a special event, say recently Halloween, my co-worker informs me that we cannot for instance have a shape of a pumpkin, ghost with a variety of art media.
That we have to allow the children to create their own interpretation of that particular object, but provide a variety of art materials to be chosen from.
Hope that my question makes some sense and would appreciate any clarification, suggestions.
As I mentioned that I am new to this, and am overwhelmed with it all.
I work within a busy active 3 years and older room, as most of us do.
Many thanks.
