New school year! New sketchbook!

For Key Stage 2 pupils, the use of sketchbooks is a National Curriculum requirement and using a sketchbook can be beneficial for children of all ages.  This session will explore how sketchbooks can be developed as a rich resource for recording, researching and documenting pupils’ ideas and inspiration.

Used effectively, sketchbooks can be embedded across the curriculum and can allow children to focus their thoughts, think creatively and reflect on their learning.

The course will include:

  • making your own sketchbook
  • exploring ideas to use in your sketchbook
  • experimenting with mark making
