Drawing club
Every morning Reception children take part in drawing club, a fun and exciting approach to open up the magic world of tales and stories; at the same time enriching their language skills and developing their drawing and mark making. Drawing club takes a book, traditional tale or animation each week and immerses the children into a world full of imagination where anything can happen and often does!
