Arts and Numeracy Masterclass with Filskit Theatre
Tuesday 3rd February, 1.30-4pm
Katy Costigan & Sarah Gee of Filskit Theatre, have been working with Aspex since October 2014 to deliver a pilot arts and numeracy project with three schools in the city. Through weekly workshops the school groups have been developing visual art performances linked to their topic subjects. In these workshops Katy and Sarah have developed activities, which aim to increase the pupils attainment in numeracy, to demonstrate how the arts can be used within the classroom for cross-curriculum learning.
In this master class Katy & Sarah will share with you their learning from this project, some information about the areas of curriculum they focused on and activities that were particularly successful.
