Conclusion

In conclusion, for twenty first century education the five different creative approaches which have been referred to in this blog can be used in Primary school education. The guest speakers and activities which have been referred to all suggest different ways in which Primary schools can link enquiry and creative learning together.

Examples of activities of the five different creative approaches have also been included and in my opinion, their significance to the twenty first century is important. This is because the different approaches to education have shown that creativity and enquiry are essential for children to not only enhance their skills in the arts but also in other aspects of the National Curriculum. The transferable skills which are learned are useful for Primary school education and beyond. These child initiated approaches help to encourage children to ask questions, explore, investigate, problem solve and imagine, all of which are skills  that are significant and  are necessary to flourish in all aspects of twenty first century education.

The creative approach which I have found to be most relevant to twenty first century education is the outdoor classroom. This is because the outdoor classroom is essential for our education system today as not only is it important for the Foundation Phase in Wales, but this approach promotes creativity to its maximum. The skills which are achieved in the other four creative approaches can be acquired though the use of outdoor learning. Therefore I feel that outdoor learning is most significant.
