THE CURIOUS QUESTS: YEAR ONE
WEDNESDAY 7.5.25
3.45-5.15PM
BEFORE YOU BUY THIS E-PACK WITH ITS FREE WALKTHROUGH, YOU MUST READ THE BELOW...
THE PRICE OF £37.50 IS PER HEAD FOR YEAR ONE TEACHERS BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS 1 YEAR TWO TEACHER TO COME FOR EACH PLACE BOUGHT (THEY CANNOT COME ON DIFFERENT DATES).
THE YEAR 2 TEACHER NEEDS TO COME TO THE YEAR 1 WALKTHROUGH OTHERWISE THEY WILL HAVE NO IDEA FOR THEIR OWN 'CURIOUS QUESTS; YEAR 2' WALKTHROUGH THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN JULY 2024.
SO FOR A ONE FORM ENTRY SCHOOL YOU WILL NEED 1 PLACE
A TWO FORM ENTRY SCHOOL WILL NEED 2 PLACES AND SO ON
JOB SHARES WILL NEED A PLACE EACH
Created to begin in Autumn 2, The Curious Quests is an immersive adventure into story, poetry and make-believe, giving children a childhood that brims with endless possibilities to invent, imagine and story dream.
To go on the Curious Quests with your children you must have a full understanding of Drawing Club. If you don't know how to use it then you need to do an online session on that first or find out the 'how' from your Reception team. The Curious Quests session and resources will not make sense without the context of Drawing Club and the online session will assume that you are familiar with its 4 Mini Moments.
Ideally, you will be using Drawing Club already in Year 1 since this is a bridge from Reception for the children.
The Curious Quests combines short carpet sessions, group work and children exploring open-ended resources such as junk modelling, construction, playdough, role play and if possible, being outside. If you don't have 'continuous provision' like this then you can't go on the The Curious Quests.
You will have abundant opportunities to show children the joy of SPAG and apply their phonic understanding too, though The Curious Quests does not tell you what to teach and when - that is down to you and your knowledge of your children and the curriculum. The Curious Quests, just like Drawing Club is more like an open-ended landscape to adventure in.
You will also need to be committed to joy. And not just you, your school leaders too. The Curious Quests are not about the drudgery of writing text types that children care little about because this is not in the Year 1 Writing National Curriculum as an expectation - children become detached from writing when adults turn it into a task. You can explore text types with the children who are confident along the way, but it is not an expectation.
If you are a school that believes children should be made to write recounts and instructions and diary entries at the age of 5 and 6 then the Curious Quests may not be for you. You are more suited to a scheme that tells you what to do and when.
The Curious Quests wants to build on the liberation of Drawing Club that shows children that writing is for them and that the pen is a magic wand. They write for their own joy, not to meet the demands of the adults.
ONLY COME TO THE CURIOUS QUESTS IF YOU ARE WILLING TO BE CREATIVE AND NOT BE TOLD WHAT TO DO EVERY DAY...
If The Curious Quests sounds like the 'literacy' you want to immerse your children in, then grab your place(s) - there is world of magic awaiting you. I shall see you there, Greg :)

The collections includes:
The Great Big Hole - who or what made the great big hole at the bottom of the garden and should we take a look and see? Be careful, don't fall in!!
It's Moonday - what if the days of the week had more joy in their names? How about Chewsday or Fursday? I wonder what happens on Frightday?!
Wave Hello! - who shall we wave hello to today? And where will we go while we do?
The Biscuit Goblin - ever wondered why you can't find your biscuits? Maybe someone is pinching them when you back is turned - I wonder who it can be?
Knock, Knock, Knock - who's that knocking at the door and should we let them in?!
Humpty Dumpty - did you know that Humpty has a magic hat? When you put it on your head anything can happen!
A Box of Monsters - someone has left a cardboard box on your doorstep. I wonder what's inside and what will happen if we open it?!
Crocodile, Oh Crocodile - when you put your shoe on, what might be inside it other than your foot?!
