Our BA Childhood Studies student has been working in room CARA and developing children’s creative skills.

Through observations and interactions with the children, it became clear that the children were very interested in pirates. To increase the children’s engagement and enjoyment, pirate themed learning experiences were planned to help develop their creative skills.

The learning activities covered different curricula areas such as literacy, numeracy and expressive arts.

Have a look at the different activities the children carried out within nursery from creating treasure maps to building pirate ships, exploring pirate treasure in the sandpit and “walk the plank” water play.
