Reception

Beginning their Art and design journey in a fun, hands-on and developmentally appropriate way, our EYFS scheme is designed to enable children to strengthen key skills and explore new techniques and ideas. The scheme links to relevant outcomes and the Early Learning Goals taken from Development Matters the EYFS Statutory Framework, making it easy to ensure coverage and provide evidence. Created by Early Years and art specialists, the play-based scheme ensures a child-led approach to Art and design, with every lesson reflecting the ethos of ‘process over outcome’. Lessons have flexible objectives, making them easily adaptable to any topic, and contain teacher prompts, guidance on assessment and key vocabulary. Work and play alongside your children as they explore a range of media and grow in confidence as artists and makers. The units mirror the four key areas identified in our KS1 and KS2 scheme: Drawing, Painting and mixed media, Sculpture and 3D and Craft and design. Each unit provides opportunities for pupils to learn new skills, practise their fine motor skills and develop their vocabulary with subject-specific language.
