The creative work is going on at Iseni disability Unit and Tambukareli primary school. From Iseni disability Unit we have also started with familyvisiting from Iseni disability Unit every thursday, to the families with children that are not attending to school. The biggest challenge in these families is poverty and the distance to school - many families can't afford the transport to school everyday.
Iseni disability Unit
For Iseni disability Unit we have hygien as a subject with the pupils. Right now there's no water at the school, which means the pupils are not washing their hands. We decided to buy a tank for the classroom, so the children can get it to a habit to wash their hands regurarly. We have discussed with them when it's important to wash hands, how and why. We have also introduced social stories for the teacher - and printed out one about washing hands. This makes it easier for the children to understand why it's important.
Many of the pupils are deaf, and the teacher is teaching them in signlanguage. The children have been in the class for one year, so they are still learning the signlanguage. They are on very different levels in which level they can communicate trough signs. We made cards with the alphabeth, and with the signs of the alphabeth in signlanguage that we put up in the classroom. This way the children can look at the signs everyday and learn them.
Other things we've done are:
- Photography. The children are very interested in the camera. One day we took each one outside, and they got to take photoes from the shoolyard of something they like. We will print out the pupils own pictures and put them on the wall in the classroom
- Art with matches and material from the nature.
- Drawing (The children has drawed their own families etc.)
- Different games (limbo, ballgames etc.)
- Clay (Many of the children's favourite activity)
- Barcelets
- Feelingcards. (We made different cards of faceexpressions - the children got to pick one card that answers the question "How do you feel today?" and also questions "When do you feel like this?". We put the cards on the wall in the classroom, so the teacher can use this to start a day.
We have seen a progress in the children in the class. In the beginning of our acitivites many of them were unconfident in creating, drawing etc, but now they are very excited about making different things, and we are trying to learn the children that what everybody does is good - it's not about prestation.
