Stay and play session

Thursday 26 April 2018

Today, we had our creative stay and play session. Thank you to everyone who came – we hope you had fun!

The expressive arts and design early learning goals are:

Exploring and using media and materials

– Children sing songs, make music and dance and experiment with ways of changing them.

– They safely use and explore a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with colour, design, texture, form and function.

Being imaginative

– Children use what they have learnt about media and materials in original ways, thinking about uses and purposes.

– They represent their own ideas, thoughts and feelings through design and technology, art, music, dance, role play and stories.

Not just this morning, but everyday, the children in Reception continue to surprise us with their wonderful imagination and different ways of expressing their ideas!

Here are some photos from our fantastic session this morning…


Why not get creative at home? Make use of any recycling to build a junk model or use an old sponge to do a sponge painting. The possibilities are endless!
