Creativity Matters Project

We were involved in a creative project at Castle Vale Nursery School from September 08 to March 09. The purpose of the project was to see if we could develop children’s creativity and encourage them to interact, using an Italian model called the Reggio Approach. The children explored found objects as well as new, exciting materials. They placed the objects to make collages, made drawings on plastic and fabrics, made wire sculptures, and experimented with transparent materials and light. The sessions were based upon children’s own interests.

Everyone enjoyed the project and concentrated really well! It was exciting to see the children finding new ways of exploring materials, using their imagination, and expressing themselves so well.
