In the light of the government's Excellence and Enjoyment primary strategy,
the current emphasis on well-being arising from Every Child Matters and recent moves
by the QCA, Creative Partnerships and OFSTED to promote creative thinking, and
cross-curricular and thematic approaches in Key Stages 1, 2 and 3, teacher education
is looking again at childcentred and experience-based learning. The article reports
on insights from a recent crosscurricular arts project in Kent which can be applied
to any environment near your school.
