Starting Points

To underpin the layout of the new media centre the curriculum of the diploma in Creative and Media was consulted and gave rise to the division of the new building into zones: participation, enquiry, creative and reflection.

At an initial meeting with students from Prudhoe CHS I took these four words along with 'Northumberland' and 'Prudhoe' and asked the students to take them for a walk using the game of consequences. This is what happened:

Northumberland | cold | polar bear | bear | Rupert | jumper | Winter
Northumberland | countryside | food | hunger | food | particles combined
Northumberland | rural | meadows | cows | animal | living thing | alive
Northumberland | England | Union Jack | united | Newcastle | home | family

Prudhoe | home | bedroom | bed | sleep | zzzzz!!! | tigers
Prudhoe | culture | society | culture | community | village life | cheerfulness
Prudhoe | town | settlement | identity | crisis | panic | worry
Prudhoe | town | place | a house | street | dance | movement

Participation | involved | friends | people | families | The song 'We Are Family' | music
Participation | team work | helping | co-operation | friends | family | life
Participation | engagement | marriage | partnership | togetherness | community | families
Participation | taking part | involvement | physically | hit | assault | attack

Reflection | mirror | reflection | shininess | shiny show | glitter | Christmas
Reflection | ideas | brains | power | strength | muscles
Reflection | mirrors | reflection | mirror | shiny thing | modern | homes & gardens
Reflection | reviewing something | thinking | game | fun | playing | games

Creativity | paintbrush | paint | colour | paint | smelly | cheese
Creativity | art | art | Stuart | artist | painting | visual
Creativity | ideas | thinking | using your brain | intelligent | thinking | mind reading
Creativity | music | songs | music | film | watching | TV

Enquiry | investigate | inspector | hat | sun | the sea | waves
Enquiry | thoughts | critique | criticism | opinions | ideas
