K2D72 – How to display objects in a stimulating and interesting way for children

Seasonal Display within Reception class:-

Using a display board and table I directed several small groups of children in making a new 'summer' display within the reception area.

I encouraged the first group to use their imagination to draw a summer time picture using pens and chalk.  I asked the children to think about summer time and what it means to them and to think of objects they could draw to represent summer. I then mounted all finished work and attached it to the display board.

Working with the second group of children using coloured card and pens, the children made flowers and a sun which they labelled and cut out. Finished work was also mounted onto the display board.

Finishing off the display with the third and last group of children, the children drew different insects, ladybirds, butterflies, bees and caterpillars using coloured pens and crayons and carefully cutting out their finished work.   The children also labelled the different insects and helped me decide where to mount them on the display board.

The whole display was finished off by adding a bucket and spade, shells and pebbles, model snail, worm and bee, clay strawberries which the children had made previously and some factual books.

You may find these resources useful when completing the course.
