Michelle Church Unit 26: Promote Creativity and Creative Learning in Young Children. 1: Understand the concepts of creativity and creative learning and how these affect all aspects of young children’s learning and development. 1:1. Creativity is about risk taking and making connections, allowing children to explore and express themselves through a variety of media or materials including, dance, music, making things, drawing, painting and make believe and to make new things emerge as a result.

Creative learning is about how children are involved in their own learning, and demonstrates their ability to problem solved and uses their imagination. It enables children to make choices and decisions and to use their problem solving skills. This can be achieved through providing a creative environment allowing exploration through play and praising creative efforts.

How do children learn through play? How does teacher intervention support or limit the learning through play? Give examples of practice to support your answer. Learning through play is a term that is used frequently in both education and developmental psychology. It is a way to describe how children use play to make sense of the world around them and can be an important tool for the development of language to communicate, the mind to imagine, to plan strategies and to solve problems.

The Reggio Emilia approach promotes the idea that children’s creativity can develop unabated by restrictions and boundaries. By giving children time and space to explore materials, freedom to test things out and varied opportunities to learn and develop new skills, children will inevitably employ their natural creativity and curiosity to make meaningful connections between their experiences and the wider world. Children provided with the right resources, such as toys that have more than one use, natural fibers and items such as glass and fabrics, have been given the tools to explore their creativity. They can then reflect upon how their projects connect to their learning and life experiences. Reggio Emilia philosophies have, at their core, a community value.
L, 2009, pg.13). It gives the children an opportunity to develop their skills at their own pace and explore the environment, choosing the activities they want to take part in and the toys they want to play with. Free-flow play also allows children to choose how they want to interact with the activities and the other children. Some children will play with another child or group of children; whereas other children will play next to other children. It also allows the practitioner to establish what a child’s skills are and where they are currently working at.
The experiences that children have with play assist with child development in many areas. It helps children develop social skills and what is acceptable behaviour. By playing it is also stimulating their cognitive and intellectual development by allowing them to make their own decisions. When children play with a group of other children they start to learn how to co-operate with them. They begin to understand concepts such as sharing, not to hit other kids, not to snatch and to use manners.
CYPOP 7 Promote creativity and creative learning in young children. Task 1 links to learning outcomes 1 assessment criteria 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.1 Analyse the differences between creative learning and creativity Creative learning and creativity is normally thought to be about creating things such as art activities but it can also be about being creative in other areas such as science. Creative learning is how the children are actively involved within their own learning and having the ability to make choices and decisions on their own. Creativity is about taking risks and making connections, by allowing the children to explore and express themselves through different types of media and materials including things such as dance, music, making things, drawing, painting and make believe and to make new things happen by using their imagination as well as reality.Creative learning: involves the children to use their investigating, discovering, inventing and cooperating skills, at least one of these four will be seen during creative thinking but most ideally it will be all four. Creativity: all children can be creative if they are given the opportunity and so can all of us adults but its more than just painting a picture on canvas or paper, being creative is about thinking and behaving imaginatively.
Emerging and Existing Technologies and Children and Young people’s learning. 1 Introduction This report will explore the various methods in which emerging and existing forms of communication through ICT can be used to enhance learning across the curriculum. For this assignment I am going to evaluate the outcomes for using computers and interactive whiteboards in Primary schools. I currently work with children aged five and six that are using both these technologies as part of their everyday learning. So from using different resources and information I am hoping to find out ways in which they assist and encourage children to use different learning methods to foster an enjoyment of learning.
