GetWise is instrumental in working with Early Years Practitioners within the preschool setting to develop outdoor projects that cover the EYFS outcomes and closely meet the needs of children and their individual learning journeys.

Our Art in Nature projects around stories such as “Owl Babies” have been a terrific success with lots of very excited faces and art being produced at home weeks later!

With skilled Level 3 Early Years Practitioners on our team, we deliver quality EYFS projects working closely with YOUR pre-school practitioners.

Our Example Outline Plan for Owl Babies

Through reading of the story Owl Babies to the group, they should be familiar with the characters so that a large scale collage can be created. Pictures can then be taken for their learning journeys.

Materials

Sweet chestnut sticks, large pole for perch, ferns, leaf litter

Methods

Collage: Create the owl babies on a perch

Sculpture: Create owl nests

EYFS Aims

Knowledge & Understanding

The children will describe and talk about what they see and show curiosity and interest in their surroundings.

Problem Solving

The children will be showing an interest in shape and space by making arrangements with objects.

Communication, Language, Literacy

The children will use talk, actions and object to recall a relive the past experiences of hearing the story by translating it into their own creative images.

Personal, Social & Emotional, Self Confidence, Self Esteem

Through pride in achievement, the children will increase in confidence and take pleasure in gaining more complex skills.

And Finally
