Props, Sets and Costumes

Over the last few days, the storytellers have been working on their props, costumes and set design.

Important choices needed to be made on the size of items, the choice of colours and the materials that would be used. During the process the children were:

• actively engaged in various stages of learning, including: thinking about, planning, modifying and creating

• involved in discussion and being self-directed in their creating (as opposed to passive receiving)

• applying their understanding of concepts through the construction of their projects

 

• solving problems and learning through trial and error or experimentation

• reflecting on their actions and self-regulating in order to complete their tasks safely.
