Creative and Aesthetic Development
This area is about:
- Representation
- Interpretation
- Awareness of colour and design
- Experimenting
- Creating
- Selecting…..
By the end of the foundation stage, most children will be able to:
explore colour, texture, shape, form, and space in two and three dimensions;
recognise and explore how sounds can be changed, sing simple songs from memory, recognise repeated sounds
and sound patterns, and match movements to music;
respond in a variety of ways to what they see, hear, smell, touch, and feel;
use their imagination in art and design, music, dance, imaginative and role play, and stories;
express and communicate their ideas, thoughts and feelings by using a widening range of materials, suitable
tools, imaginative and role-play, movement, designing and making, and a variety of songs and musical
instruments.
