‘I Planted a Seed’: Childhood, nature and creativity
'I Planted a Seed' explores how children’s imaginations are inspired by nature in their storytelling, exploration and creative world. The exhibition starts with the classroom and how nature supports creative learning in children. It then moves on to examine children’s own creative output and how nature is reflected in music, dance, play and textiles. On display are items from the IOE Archives and the Folklore Society collection, as well as material from outside of Special Collections including the IOE Rare Books collection and the IOE Curriculum Resources collection.
‘I Planted a Seed’ is to be located in the Main Library Stairwell and 1st floor. An exhibition catalogue and digitised collection items will also be available online for anyone to access.
