1. Art facilitation.

2. Montessori Pre-School.
Montessori pre-school.
Has been set up for over 30 years.
Pre-school for 2 and half year old to 4 year
old children.

3. Montessori Pre-School.
There are five Montessori teachers in
total.
This school year there are 31 children
enrolled.
Two groups. One in the morning session,
one in the afternoon session.

4. Montessori Pre-School.
Afternoon class has 8 pupils in total.
This class is for children who have either a
noticeable learning difficulty or trouble
with a language barrier.
This was the group I would be facilitating.

5. Before the activity.
Accessed the needs of the children before
under taking the facilitation.
Decided on an appropriate activity for the
children.
Use internet resources for ideas such as
Pinterest.

6. The activity.
Make a personal tree with the group of 8.
Trace out an outline of a large tree.
Use stencils of handprints and leaves to fill
in the tree.

7. The facilitation.
Firstly I Introduced who I was to the
group.
Played a 10 minute warm up game called
“the ball name game”. From this game I got
to know all of the children's names.
I got the art martials and table ready.

8. The facilitation.
Got each child to sit around the table.
Each child picked a different art martials
to fill out the stencils.
 Glued on the handprints and leaves on the
cut out of the tree.
Display on the wall to look at in future.

One A3 brown paper for the trunk.
One A3 white paper for the tree.
Colouring pencils and crayons.
Glue.

13. Learning points from the facilitation
Each child was different and wanted to use
different pencils and crayons as some
children didn’t like the feel of crayons.

14. Limitations to the facilitation
A lot of the children needed one to one
help with the facilitation as it was a ratio
of 8:1 I couldn’t help all children at the
same time so some of the teachers had to
help me.

15. Evaluation from clients and or/staff
All of the teachers and staff really
appreciated the facilitation I carried out
with the children.
They praised the thought I had put into
the activity and how I took all the
children's needs into account and made the
activity suitable for each child.
