Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I'm not really sure where to put this post but I've finally settled on this forum! Today the children (2yr's old) have done some beautiful mark making, on a large roll of paper on the floor, they've used different pens, pencils, crayons and it looks really striking. I've decided I'm going to put it up on a display board as the backing paper and then stick on some photo's I took whislt they were doing the activity and write some captions about what they learnt as they did this process. (Hope that makes sense) I can't think of a catchy title though, I was just going to put "our mark making" or similar but it's a bit....blah! The display is going in the corridor, more for the parent's benefit really to show them what their child is learning/getting out of "just a few scribbles on some paper" as they some of them see it. Can anyone think of a title? Thanks in Advance.
Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Does it need a title? If you have photo's and captions to explain what was happening it will speak for itself? I've not put a title on our currant bun display which is a similair type of display because of this but I have added the relevant statement for EYSF in a framed box instead.
Guest Wolfie Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 There was another thread recently started by someone who needed a title for a parent/child session about mark-making and lots of good ideas were suggested....if I was clever enough I'd do a link but I'm not. Search under "Mark-making" and it should come up..or someone who IS clever might do you a link.....
Inge Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 we used to use the phrase ' playing to learn' for displays .. self explanatory why.. our local reception class use it too now having seen it at the pre-school! Inge

Guest Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 How about trying to show the parents what mark making is all about by showing the different stages of writing development Found this with some good images http://www.lindaslearninglinks.com/earlywrtgdev.html You could just call it 'Writing development' or 'In the beginning'
