Express Yourself Studio

Imagine ~ Create ~ Play

Sessions

sessions

During term-time, we offer a series of sessions including baby massage and expressive arts classes. In these fun, engaging classes, we combine learning together and free play. As well as weekly classes, we offer open studio sessions and seasonal events. 

All our provision is underpinned by the three characteristics of effective teaching and learning identified by the EYFS. These are:

  • playing and exploring
  • active learning
  • creating and thinking critically

The focus of the characteristics of effective learning is on how children learn rather than what they learn i.e. process over outcome. At Express Yourself Studio, we invite children to express themselves through experimentation and manipulation of different media and materials, music making, movement and imaginative play.
