Displaying children's work : Making books with hardcovers
15th April 2008 : 9.30 - 3.30

with Paul Johnson

Nothing makes the school environment more attractive than children's project work displayed in hard-covered books that zig-zag across a room or foyer. On this intensive workshop, expect to take away with you an accordion book that, panoramically, opens to show a whole class project; a thematic book that hangs from the ceiling, and beautiful Japanese-style side bound books that will enhance your classroom. We will also focus on general display issues like arranging work attractively and integrating different types of cross-curricular work.

Hard covered books from primary schools illustrate this workshop and include a captioned class photograph album at KS2 and large format books from Foundation and KS1

Suitable for: Foundation to Year 6. Teachers, teaching assistants and all those involved in early years education
