The Next Steps Planning tool for Reading, Writing and Mathematics as well as for holistic skills so that when you are co-playing as well as Not-Playing, you are working at the cusp of confidence and beyond. This can have a significant impact on progress, as not a moment is wasted with children when you are with them. You confidently co-play because you know the children as learners as well as people. By joining Greg online, you will also be joining other interested educators, giving Story Dough! momentum and energy, plus you'll get the free walkthrough with Greg to inspire you to get started and bring your own energy to the concept! Would you like to spend one evening a week just drawing or painting? Then the City Academy Art Club is a great way to develop your skills in a relaxed and creative atmosphere. Most beginners like kids who don't have drawing skills will start learning how to draw because the app provides very simple drawings suitable for kids and beginners What Fans Are Saying Karen, you are absolutely fabulous! You make me feel like I can draw anything. I have recently retired and finally have the time to do some of the art that I have loved since I was in school. I am really at the beginning of my art journey and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all you do.
His two education books ‘Can I Go And Play Now?’ and ‘School and the Magic’ of Children’ have attracted much attention with their call for education to embrace childhood and the ‘echoes of play’. The world of education is an amazing and rewarding world to be in, but there is a sense among many that work within it that there is something not quite right, that all is not well. Our Drawing Clubs are open to students in school years 5 to 9 who have a passion for drawing and would like to attend a weekly Saturday class. The Drawing Clubs are led by professional artists who are alumni of our postgraduate programme, The Drawing Year, and experienced in teaching children. After a difficult year, we want to celebrate our community in this series of free, live-streamed workshops. Join our artist tutors in the Royal Academy for the opportunity to be inspired and get creative, using drawing materials you’ll have at home.

To go on the Curious Quests with your children you must have a full understanding of Drawing Club. If you don't know how to use it then you need to do an online session on that first. The Curious Quests session and resources will not make sense without the context of Drawing Club and the online session will assume that you are familiar with its 4 Mini Moments. Ideally, you will be using Drawing Club already in Year 1 since this is a bridge from Reception for the children.
This is always a great stimulus for artwork. Choose a country to research and look at the types and styles of art produced there; the children could be involved in this. Ask them to come up with the country’s traditional art. Created as a precursor to Drawing Club, Story Dough! is a ten minute pop-up for adults and small groups of children to invent, wonder and bring imagination to life using a great big clod of playdough. And just like Drawing Club, you can take Story Dough! on an adventure with your children - the possibilities are endless as is the potential joy... 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, not to meet the demands of the adults. During this informal chat, we learn more about Greg as a person, his passion and advocacy for children shining through and he provides his thoughts on how children can be supported by play and child-led activities, how we can start the conversations with children to learn about any anxieties they may have and help them by listening.

School And The Magic of Children’ is an exploration of the very soul of childhood, leading us on an adventure into the world of Story via Drawing Club and then into a new lens to look through at play itself with the concept of Play Projects. Story Dough! is offering you the chance to 'book snuggle' with small groups of children, to spend quality time with them exploring stories, showing them the joy of manipulating play dough, sprinkling vocabulary, connecting mark making with positive emotion and above all going on an adventure with them into imagination and make-believe - all the things that childhood is looking for and the perfect opportunity to bring skills to life... Drawing Club can be truly transformative both within your Reception practice and as a bridge into KS1 - its magic is extraordinary because Drawing Club is an adventure into the world of story itself. This cool drawing app is for everyone with all drawing skills. You will learn how to draw effortlessly by following the drawing process.
Welcome to the exciting world of BABBLEJAB! - a brilliant way to explore the playground of language, stimulate chat, develop inference and critical thinking as well as show children the hidden poetry of words. Origami offers many possibilities, and there are a wide selection of online tutorials to help. You can make fun shapes to create animals, bookmarks or pretty decorations. Our Christmas Craft Along webinar includes a section on origami, teaching you how to make three simple shapes that can be used to make decorations. Scribble Club is aimed at 2,3 and 4 year olds and is an exploration of scribbling, a way of delighting in its process. In some ways it is a forerunner to the Drawing Club concept although it is entirely based within the hum and buzz of co-play. Scribble Club explores how to add an extra layer of joy to the day through scribbling's powerful link to invention, magic and story. Or explore more meaningful origami and share the story of Sadako and her wish to make a thousand origami cranes after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. There is now a statue in Japan called the Children’s Peace Monument, inspired by her efforts. Challenge the children to learn how to make cranes, and display them as a symbolic sculpture in school. Give your children age-appropriate practice that is highly engaging and grounds children in the joy of book snuggling.
About this event
Regular drawing at any age can enhance focus and concentration and increase self-esteem, and this can be especially beneficial for school-age children. The skills learned can also support students’ pursuit of a wide range of creative subjects in school, further and higher education, and open doors to careers in the arts, design, architecture, and science. By coming to the Zoom, you will be joining other interested educators, giving The Message Centre momentum and energy, plus you'll get the FREE walkthrough with Greg to inspire you to get started and bring your own energy to the concept!
