Expressive Arts & Design

Children’s creativity is extended through supporting their curiosity, exploration and play.

• They are encouraged to use a wide range of resources in order to express their own ideas and feelings and to construct their individual responses to experience in two and three dimensions.
• Art equipment, including paint, glue, crayons and pencils as well as natural and discarded resources, provides open-ended exploration of colour, shape and texture and the development of skills in painting, drawing and collage.
• Children join in with and respond to music and stories, and there are many opportunities for imaginative role-play, both individually and as part of a group.
