Curriculum

At Kensington Primary, we follow Drawing Club, a creative and engaging approach to early literacy developed by Greg Bottrill. Drawing Club brings stories to life through drawing, imagination and purposeful mark-making. Each week, children explore a high-quality text, picture book or short animation and use it as inspiration for their own drawings and ideas.

Children draw characters, settings and adventures from the story, adding magic buttons or secret symbols that allow them to imagine “what if?” scenarios. These drawings are supported by rich vocabulary, talk and phonics-based writing, which develops naturally from marks and symbols into letters, words and simple sentences.

Drawing Club supports children’s imagination, confidence and love of learning while strengthening key skills such as language development, early writing, fine motor control and storytelling. Most importantly, it makes learning to write meaningful, playful and exciting for young children.
