also form an idea of themselves. Routines learnt in class will help them act with certain autonomy, thus

enhancing their self-confidence and self-esteem. This will also boost the spirit of collaboration and group respect. Children are encouraged to listen to each other, respect different opinions and value the work of others.

Music and movement provide opportunities for children to move and gesture along with the music and learn to know themselves (Sing and chant, dance and move.

5. DEVELOPMENT OF PRE-PRIMARY CURRICULUM AREAS

5.1 Self-knowledge and Personal Autonomy Playing is a privilege. Through this activity children learn to interact with others,

share with others and work with their classmates, respecting turns in a game or whenever they answer the teacher’s questions. This will create a positive and accurate image of themselves.

Children make progress in acquiring habits and attitudes related to safety, hygiene and health: for example, they learn to take care of their friends and that playing safe is important. They also become more and more interested in outdoor activities.

Music and movement provide opportunities for children to move and gesture along with the music and learn to know themselves (Sing and chant, dance and move.

Children use TPR exercises to understand language (Total Physical Response) and for a better self-knowledge of his body.

5.2 Physical, Natural, Social and Cultural Realms By learning actions and games, children learn to relate with others in a more

balanced and satisfactory way, thus internalizing social behaviour norms and adapting to them.

Children observe and explore their environment actively, as well as the objects and materials available there, how they work and how they are used on a daily basis. They also learn about their position in space as well as the position of objects, about relative positions and movement.

Children learn to enjoy the language and develop a positive attitude towards the English language, learning at the same time other subjects:

Art (Make yellow artwork).Maths (Trace the numbers 1-3; count to 3; show 1, 2 or 3 items)Music and movement (Sing and chant, dance and move)

A values lesson guides young children to think about themselves and how they interact with others (Values: Put away your toys).
