GARSTANG COMMUNITY PRIMARY SCHOOL ‘The Aliens Have Landed’ CREATIVITY WEEK

OUTLINE OF PROJECT Creativity Week- introduce creativity into school curriculum. Thinking skills- enquiry, problem solving and creative thinking. Science, D.T. and creativity- maximise opportunities to practise above skills. Areas of creativity- art, animation, dance, D.T. Teachers’ skills and own creativity- audit teachers’ skills.

‘If we are successful we will see..’ Improved problem solving skills and increased confidence when presented with problem solving activities. High-quality work in all age and ability groups that reflects or surpasses the level of skill expected of children of their age group. An improved ability to record their own ideas and evaluations in a format of their own choosing. (When compared to earlier work from same term).

‘If we are successful we will see..’ A full, informed and enthusiastic journal of events and thoughts from each child (in KS2, a class journal in KS1). Improved understanding of how a creative curriculum could impact on learning in our school. Teachers’ improved understanding of progression of skills across the key stages.

All children and staff participated in Creativity Week. Weeks leading up to the event set the scene. ORGANISATION
