Creative Learning Journey itself, Principles and use.

The Creative Learning Journey is a comprehensive set of aesthetically engaging resources, designed to appeal to children staff and parents. It comprises of a skills continuum from Nursery to Year 6, supported by thematic wheels which are designed to form the school’s medium-term plans. A website also lets you access pre-prepared wheels or allows teachers to design and customise wheels to the school’s individual requirements. It also provides an assessment framework which will be tailored to Brookland Junior and Infant schools’ requirements.
