At Lucy School, the arts are integrated as a lively and dynamic learning medium for young children that accommodates the curriculum while nurturing the need for play and active learning. Learning Projects (child initiated and/or selected by the teaching team) are introduced through related literature and an introductory drama activity:

• Drama brings literature to life, creates a “living through” learning experience, and enriches dramatic play.

• Music, Movement and Dance enhance the learning experience and facilitate multi-sensory learning.

• Visual Arts, based on the Reggio Emilia model, hones observation skills and fosters creative self-expression.

• Free Play is interspersed throughout the day. Play environments are changed to reflect current projects.

• Exploration of Nature enhances our learning and integrates related literature.
