The Art Room
A place of wonder, a place of joy
Where creativity is simple ploy
A room of vibrant colors and shapes
Where a child's imagination can truly escape
A space of exploration and learning too
Where a child can discover all that's new
A place of beauty, a place to be
Where a child can express who they truly be
A room of acceptance and understanding
Where no one is judges for their way of thinking
A place of freedom and diversity
Where a child's unique spirit can truly be free
The art room, a place of magical things
Where a child's imagination can take flight and take wings
This room can truly bring out the best.
A place that PST's professional engagement and practices should neglect.
Commentaries should unpack, interpret and analyse each narrative. PSTs should read beneath the lines, pull the story apart and explain what the story means to them and their work as teachers. Why is it interesting or significant? What is learned through the story? How does constructing a narrative enable learning?
