Children learn most effectively when they are actively involved in a project, can see the purpose of it and when they are having fun. While the process of designing and creating a mosaic is more important than the outcome, The Red Shed Mosaics are always of a consistently high standard. Pauline works with Schools to ensure each mosaic project fit their individual needs and integrate well into the curriculum. Mosaic can be used as a medium to convey what is being studied in the classroom. This can be seen in a recent project at Pukerua Bay School. |

“Overall it was a very enriching experience and something different to offer the children. The outcome was a great piece of memorabilia to be used in our playground”- H.Grindey , Plimmerton School |
|
The children take a leading role in designing & creating these projects which can combine both hand-painted tiles & mosaic work to build fantastic artworks. |
|
Working together on a creative project such as a Mural, Hopscotch or special paved area not only provides exciting and valuable learning experiences but also instils in them, a great pride in their school. |
|
Working together as a group outside of the regular classroom environment helps to consolidate learning, establish friendships, and build self esteem. |
