How Do We Adapt our Art Teaching to Include Children with Specific Educational Needs?

By Clare Boreham Kerr

In this Pedagogy in 250 Words, SEN specialist and Art and DT Lead Clare Boreham, at Benton Dene School, shares with us the importance of adapting art lessons to include learners with different specific educational needs and discusses how she does this. Clare breaks down her approach into three key points to ensure that you, as educators, feel enabled to navigate the varied landscape of teaching and learning in SEN and that your learners can experience art in a way that works for them.

Paddington Bear

Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children’s literature. He first appeared on 13 October 1958 in the children’s book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond, and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists.

Paddington is also animated in stop motion. Paddington himself is a puppet in a three-dimensional environment, whilst other characters are paper cut-outs. The final television special used a slightly different technique using 2D drawn fully animated characters. Wikipedia

Watch the episode below and ask children some questions about what they can see.

Questions to Prompt Conversation with EYFS
