Did you know that woodwork can help young children develop their literacy and mathematical skills? 💡

In our latest short film, St Andrew’s Primary School Reception teacher, Aiden Martin explains how woodwork has had a positive influence on the young children he teachers. ✨

Here’s a snip of how the Froebelian Occupation of clay is used at the school - one of many ways young children at St Andrew’s are using natural materials to understand nature and the world around them. 🌍

These two superstars are always a pleasure to observe in the block-play! Today’s build was a factory… another type of building we have noticed in Newport!

The children have been using digital cameras to capture their experiences of parties and celebrations in the role-play.
It’s amazing to see what they see and understand what matters to them!

We have been listening to famous pieces of music from inspirational black musicians! We focused on the tempo, describing fast and slow and making our marks… 🎶🖤🖍️ #SAPSECC #SAPSEIC

Is the music fast or slow? What does the music make our pens do?
