Expressive Arts

Read the information below to find out how our school embraces 'Curriculum for Excellence' through 'Expressive Arts'.

Expressive Arts

Expressive Arts include experiences and outcomes in art and design, drama, dance and music. Our learning progression pathways provide Gordon pupils with opportunities to learn to:

  • Express themselves in different ways and be creative;

  • Experience enjoyment (and contribute to other people’s enjoyment) through creative expressive performances and presentation;

  • Develop important skills specific to expressive arts and also transferable skills.

At Gordon Primary School we aim to discover, maintain and enhance the creativity and imagination that is embedded within every young child.  From ‘Role Play Corners’ to ‘Whole School Productions’, from ‘Free Choice Art Tables’ to ‘Class Wall Displays’, all children are encouraged to think creatively and to share their ideas with others, making our school a vibrant and stimulating place to learn.

Pupils from P5 to P7 are offered the opportunity of specialised tuition to learn a range of instruments. Sessions become available for this throughout the year.  You will be notified as and when these opportunities arise. The purchase of an instrument can be costly however many of the instruments can be hired initially. Further details are available on request.

In a more formal setting, concerts involving drama, dance and music are presented to parents, friends and other links within our local community. Taking part in these presentations can help pupils develop skills in self-expression, with evidence of a visible increase in self-confidence.
