Drawing Club

In Year 1 we begin the year by using 'Drawing Club' to complete our tasks in English. 

'Drawing Club is a true adventure and perfect for Reception and Year 1, though it can be adapted for Nursery and even as intervention in KS2. Based around the Golden Blend of picture books, tales and animations, it involves a short period of Time Together as a whole class followed by time with children exploring their ideas and creativity that can be adapted to how you believe is best.

Drawing Club puts you, the creative teacher, back at the centre of your teaching - no scheme, no syllabus, no set texts, but freedom to adventure with the concept and bring yourself and the world of story to life.

• Immerse children in the world of story and show them the joy of who you are 
• Share a treasure trove of vocabulary with children to open up the playground of language to them
• Give yourself the opportunity to create a library of progress that can be astonishing
• Develop children’s creativity and imagination to show them that they are extraordinary 
• Give your children age-appropriate practice that is highly engaging and grounds children in the joy of book snuggling.'

Curious Quests

After October half term we move on to 'Curious Quests'. 

'The Curious Quests takes the magic of Drawing Club into Year 1...

The Curious Quests is an immersive adventure into story, poetry, make-believe and giving children a childhood that brims with endless possibilities to invent, imagine and story dream.

The Curious Quests combines short carpet sessions, group work and children exploring open-ended resources such as junk modelling, construction, playdough, role play and if possible, being outside. 

The Curious Quests wants to build on the liberation of Drawing Club that shows children that writing is for them and that the pen is a magic wand. They write for their own joy.'
