Creative Practice :
My own creative practice focuses on how we remember both personally and as a collective, this involves the creation of iconic artefacts made from materials that are broken and have lost their integrity of meaning such as old beads and jewellery. My work as a Creative Practitioner has involved a strong Transition focus that has dealt with the journeys of different groups of children in their lives. The materials and means have been very diverse including, for example, the making of recycled flowers to be planted by pupils (yr. 2) at their new school, and an Arts Council funded project that involved pupils creating driftwood and origami boats to symbolically represent themselves (yr.2 and yr.6). This project was particularly powerful in its utilisation of a ceremonial boat release to the sea at the end of the project.
Education Practice :
Work with Creative Partnerships has involved a strong integration with teacher’s own practice and their curricula demands. A particular example is The Watery World of Islands that represented a thematic week of events with diverse practitioners at Barrow Island School. My component involved collaboration with a teacher to develop a vehicle for the scientific testing of materials, part of the project involved creating a large-scale Viking boat created from recycled cardboard utilising traditional boat-building technique. This project explored history, language and Design & Technology as components and culminated in the celebratory burning of the boat as a means of understanding an irreversible change in materials. This project involved working with a widely-differentiated group of children which allowed older pupils to mentor younger children (reception-yr.6).
I have been selected by Curious Minds to be part of a 6 strong practitioner resource focussing on Outdoor Learning as a specialism since many of my recent projects have resulted in this as a major component. This has included environmental engagement and how curricular areas can be interpreted in the widest sense to generate innovative approaches.

Description :
The Project required the development of a nature trail in the school grounds to augment and enhance an existing green space. The process involved the formulation of ideas in collaboration with pupils to increase their sense of ownership and self esteem at a time of significant transition for them. Pupils were introduced to recycled materials and in addition worked with new natural elements to create woven birds and a display case of fantastic insects. In evaluation the project was found to have significantly transformed the self value and personal worth of pupils and also changed their attitudes to how they spent their leisure time with each other i.e. in the woods making things
