In terms of my particular provision we follow an autonomous, child centred style of education with learning through life as our main aim. The questionnaire you enclosed is not therefore relevant to our educational philosophy and delivery, but I am more than happy to provide evidence of how the educational provision is, • 'efficient full-time education suitable to her age, ability, and aptitude, and As you will be aware, 'efficient' education has been established in case law as an education that achieves what it sets out to achieve. It is therefore most useful for me to set out my educational philosophy as a basis for long-term educational goals and what we are setting out to achieve. The theoretical basis of my educational philosophy is that: The child/learner is best placed to know what best suits her intrinsic motivation to learn provided that she has a rich and stimulating environment in which to operate as a learner. Learning should follow the child/learner's questions. The child is an active learner with her own unique set of interests, concerns, questions and problems that she is actively addressing at any moment. The role of education is to support this. The growth of knowledge is a creative and non-mechanical process within the mind of the learner. An environment with access to a large range of resources, conversation, experiences outside the home etc, is best placed to nurture and facilitate this process. Education is about every aspect of learning, every opportunity for conjecture and refutation. Autonomous education is about having the conditions for self-direction within life. Autonomous education does not divide life up into 'education' and 'not education'. Basic Skills It is a core assumption of autonomous education that children will acquire the skills they need to take advantage of their environment and pursue their own aspirations. As such literacy and numeracy are not forced components of a curriculum, but are outcomes within the process acquired in numerous ways, both formal and informal, depending on the child's questions and developing educational priorities. What could be more efficient than a child learning something to suit his or her own intrinsic and individual purposes? Socialisation The combination of autonomy and learning in the real world with access to a broad range of social experiences spanning all age groups has an enormously positive influence on the socialization process. In an autonomous learning situation the delicate and complicated balance between being a social creature and the growth of personal knowledge are not put under the enormous and artificial pressures for conformity and homogeneity.

Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will have explored the connections between Art, English, Math, and Physical Education in a fun and engaging way.

Materials and Prep

Materials needed: pencils, paper, art supplies, a book or story for reading, a small ball or bean bag for Physical Education activities.

Prep: Familiarize yourself with the chosen book or story, set up a comfortable workspace for art activities, and clear a space for physical activities.

Activities

1. Create an Artwork: Encourage the student to illustrate a scene from the book or story they read. This integrates Art and English.

2. Math in Art: Have the student count and record the number of different colors used in their artwork. Discuss patterns and shapes within the drawing.

3. Storytime Stretch: After reading the book, engage in a short Physical Education activity related to the story. For example, act out the movements of the characters or create a mini obstacle course.

Talking Points

"Art allows us to express our creativity and imagination. How did you decide on the colors and shapes for your artwork?"
"Math is everywhere, even in art! Counting the colors used helps us see patterns. Can you identify any patterns in your drawing?"
"Physical activity is important for our bodies. How did moving around while acting out the story make you feel?"
