A creative, connected home education experience inspired by the work of Yayoi Kusama - digital download. Our learning journeys are unit studies with a difference - they are inspired by atelier and Reggio Emilia approaches, recognising that children have many languages through which they learn and express their ideas. Throughout this unit, you’ll find opportunities to wonder, investigate, experiment, create, communicate, move, make and reflect.
English and maths are thoughtfully woven throughout the experience, alongside art, making, critical thinking, fine-motor development and mindful moments. National Curriculum skills and objectives sit discreetly within the journey, allowing meaningful learning to emerge through play, creativity and exploration — what we like to call learning in disguise '. You might spend an afternoon following one idea or allow a question to unfold into several days of discovery. There is no single right' way through the journey. Follow the threads that interest your learner and see where they take you. Most importantly, enjoy the process. Notice the questions, conversations, experiments, mistakes and unexpected discoveries along the way. They are all part of the learning. Wonder. Investigate. Create. Connect. Reflect. Follow the thread. Follow their curiosity. Enjoy the journey.
Inside you will find:
1) How to set up your invitations to explore
2) ‘Wonder Cards’ printable
3) Yayoi Kusama Mini E-Book
4) Who was Yayoi Kusama?- Reflection, note taking and complete the portrait task
5) Interview the artist - question writing, sorting activity and hot seating role-play invitation
6) Nature Investigations - mushroom hunt and pumpkin exploration
7) Maths Investigations - foil atelier, mathematical sculptures and array building
8) Become an art critic
9) A Mindful Moment
