LEARNING
Learning in the Nursery
The overriding purpose of early years education is to help children develop the skills and attitudes they will need both at this level and throughout a lifetime of learning.
Children need an holistic educational experience that doesn’t create artificial boundaries between different aspects of their development.
The children learn via:
Focussed activities
Enhanced activities
Continuous activities
The Nursery CurriculumThe Nursery uses the International
Primary Curriculum or IPC
Our units this year will be
Term 1 Nursery Rhymes Food
Term 2 Let’s Pretend Bears
Term 3 Houses and Homes Sand and Water
4 Strands of learning
International learning outcomes
We use aspects of the English National Curriculum for
English and Maths where appropriate.
