Expressive Arts and Design: Being imaginative and expressive through self-led play May 7, 2024

Article 28: We have the right to a good quality education.

Throughout this Summer term, the children in the Nursery have displayed a wide-range of expressive skills and art throughout their play. At times this has been to small scale and in the outdoors on a larger scale. The children have enjoyed exploring a range of painting materials and have also developed their own imaginary play skills. All of the children are beginning to show an increased awareness of the world around them, taking care of their environments and making marks for all of their teachers and parents! From imaginary book play to water world team play – it has been wonderful to observe the children being imaginative throughout their Nursery sessions. Through art and nature play outdoors the children have explored a range of areas and have developed their communication and language skills also.
