Having being the last day with the St.Giles school, we ensured that we helped them out with as much as we can in preparation for their future performance.
During our time in the tutor groups, we did the dance that we'd previously practiced for their performance but this time we used all of the props. The props were filled with colors and different textures and I learnt that they used all of those things because for some of the children it helps them get in tact with their senses, therefore everything would be sensory for the children, so they could feel different textures and see different colors. This reminded me of the very first day of our community arts lesson at college, when we did 'Boal' exercises called the 'Glass Cobra' which relies on a specific sense.
Towards the end of the day we were able to see the technical rehearsal for their performance and I was able to see each element of the show gradually piece together.
Overall, I've learnt lots about what it means to work with different children. I've discovered different practitioner techniques, and effective ways to include each child in several different activities.
