For New Parents:
How the Children Learn:
Nursery/Reception
Creative Development
Many
creative activities fall within Creative Development including Music, Dance,
Art, Craft and Imaginative play, using the home corner where we learn to cook
and encourage the use of the five senses by imaginative role-play and movement. There are opportunities to paint using a
variety of different resources and make musical instruments and hats and create
animals such as hedgehogs from clay. We
have sand and water play every day and there is access to the class computer
where the children learn new techniques.
Creating masterpieces in Reception
There are opportunities for the children to
explore their own ideas through a wide range of types of representation. Our
Music lessons are taught by a Music specialist twice a week and all pre-prep
children participate in singing activities on a weekly basis. The creative
aspect of the foundation stage is one that is vital for the children to develop
their skills of self expression.
