THE CURRICULUM

Planning the Curriculum

Planning is formulated around the children's interests based on our observations of them. Special events and topics of interest are planned half termly and displayed on the noticeboard. Included in the seasonal topics will be the opportunity to look at festivals from other cultures.

Further details are available in our Prospectus, but an outline of the Curriculum is given here:

Language and Literacy

In small groups, large groups and at individual reading time, children are encouraged to talk about their own experiences, listen and join in, using an increasing vocabulary.

Personal and Social development

Within a safe, friendly environment they develop confidence, self-respect and independence. They are all given equal opportunity to initiate ideas and take responsibility for themselves, the group and property.

Mathematics

Children become familiar with sequencing, sorting and counting, and recognising and recreating patterns, through various activities including number rhymes, songs, counting games and books.

Knowledge and understanding of the world

A safe and stimulating environment allows children to explore and experiment with a variety of natural and manufactured materials. Topics include different cultures, their own surroundings, their environment and their families.

Physical development

Good adult supervision supports children as they develop increasing skill and control in moving, agility, balancing and fine-motor skills.

Creative development

Children are encouraged to use a wide range of resources in order to express their own ideas and feelings.
