Steps for making your classroom wall display

So we know why, but what are the steps for putting up a classroom wall display?

1. First, determine what you want your display to be about. Is it a topic you'll be covering in class, something you'd like to make them aware of such as encouraging reading or how to have a positive mindset, or do you want to showcase your children's artwork?

2. Next, gather all the relevant materials. Posters, display letters, banners etc. Twinkl tip: Make sure to use plenty of images. Images help us remember things much easier than words alone. When you are looking at an image, you are able to focus on certain details without having to read everything.

3. You'll then need to come up with ideas for the classroom wall display arrangement. Try laying it out on the floor and rearranging till you're happy. Also, make sure to think about good locations for the display. Make sure you have enough space and that the display can be seen from all angles. Twinkl tip: A classroom door display could be great as it will be seen every time people leave the room.

4. When you have the resources, the location and layout all figured out, pop it up. Then eagerly await for your children's reactions when they next come into the classroom.

The place and size of displays are very important in a child’s classroom. If displays are at the child’s eye level, they can see them clearly. When displays are big and clear, children can read and use them for learning. If displays are too small or too high, children may not look at them. Good displays help children learn, feel happy, and stay interested in class

example:

put charts (alphabet, numbers) at children’s eye level so they can see and use them.

place big boards (rules, calendar) at the front for whole-class visibility.

use small displays in reading or art corners for focused learning.

A classroom filled with the work of children is a delight to be in and sends a message to students that their work and their learning are important. Although early in the school year, the teacher might do much of the display planning and caretaking, as the year progresses, students can take an increasingly active role in displaying their work. There are several ways in which children can be involved. They can simply choose pieces of their own work that they give to the teacher to assemble into a display.
