3. This has some challenges because you need the East examples to compare - and Hamish you are not teaching it yet and Andrew you have not had a lot of notice to prepare some samples from your program. At least do the reflection on the Dover art - Andrew as you know your program you will be able to do the comparison. This is step one in this process.

4. Dover Primary website here at this link - review and reflect

5. What should we aim for? Always offer children choices while doing work Encourage children to express themselves - its not just about skills Give children time to experiment - allow for this Encourage children talk about their work - they should be able to in a personal way Demonstrate new skills as part of a program, not hit and miss Try something new, stimulate and excite
