CP Plan - Sand Area - Reception

This practical, fully editable Sand Area CP Plan supports high-quality sand provision in Reception. It combines Development Matters objectives, progressive play behaviours and carefully selected resources to help children explore, investigate and develop their understanding through hands-on sensory experiences. The plan provides clear guidance for adults on how to model, extend and deepen learning throughout the year, while promoting rich vocabulary, mathematical thinking, problem-solving and collaborative play. With seasonal teaching guidance, tiered vocabulary and ShREC prompts, it helps teams create purposeful sand experiences where every interaction supports learning and development. Designed to be adapted, printed and shared across your setting.
