EYFS Year A & B

We encourage creative work throughout the Foundation Stage, as part of the EYFS curriculum.  We plan opportunities for creative experiences using objectives set out in Development Matters.
The children’s learning includes art, music, dance, role-play and imaginative play. This range of experiences enables our children to make connections between one area of learning and another, and so extends their understanding of the world around them.
 

Units below can be used.

KS1

At Key Stage 1, our children are introduced to a range of materials and techniques in drawing, painting and sculpture. They are encouraged to use their imagination and creativity in their work and to begin to be reflective artists. The children take influence from famous artists and are invited to discuss similarities and differences in their works. 

End KS1

• At the end of KS1 pupils will feel confident in their artistic ability and begin to feel secure in their ability to express themselves and become proud of their achievements.
• Building on their experiences of EYFS they will have embedded the foundations of artistic skills and understanding. Pupils will also be gaining an understanding of some key artists.
