Spring Term 2025
Welcome back to school and the start of the Spring Term
This term, our concept is ‘culture’ and ‘heritage’. We will be learning about ‘Art and Culture’, how they can interact and shape each other.
Why is it important that children learn about this?
Expressive arts can engage, motivate and encourage learners to develop their creative, artistic and performance skills to the full. Learning and experiences in this Area encourages the development of knowledge, skills and values that can help learners grasp the opportunities and meet the challenges that arise in their lives. Whether as creators or as audience, through engaging with the expressive arts, learners can gain an understanding and an appreciation of cultures and societies in Wales and in the world. Such engagement can equip learners with the skills to explore cultural differences through time and place. It can engage learners physically, socially and emotionally, nurturing their well-being, self-esteem and resilience. This can help them become healthy, confident individuals, ready to lead fulfilling lives as valued members of society.
