Today we had the first class with Lauriston Year 4 schoolchildren!
From not knowing what the word curator meant, the children went on to select and organise their objects, and construct a narrative that stuck them together. What a curating exercise!
From a same set of around 50 objects, the groups of pupils explored a variety of meanings that could bring their objects together: a biographical account of a girl from a different time, a historical investigation of Old Constantinople, an evolution of technology and much more!
The kids explore their objects
The pupils register their objects
What if the object can register the world?

Most kids used the iPad to present their show
Some kids relied on more conventional presenting techniques
Exhibitions ranged from a technological thematic…
… to a historical narrative
