Our Australian animal habitat
Planning for Inclusivity
Specifically, I have, taken into account my learners with sensory issues and provided gloves in the event that they would be hesitant to touch the clay. I also had play doh on hand in case the smell or colour of the clay was unpalatable. This would also be relevant for students with allergies/skin conditions.
It was about knowing the learners on an individual basis. It would be useful to also take note of any Aboriginal students who may be interested or culturally sensitive in regards to the introduction of the Quandamooka clay.
There would be a need to be awareness of students with physical issues with working with clay (fine/gross motor issues). However, clay is a fairy forgiving material and most students should be able to engage with the task to some degree. Play doh is an alternative that may be a little easier to work with if necessary.
