Early Steps Nursery
Knowledge and Understanding
The children have the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and understanding that help them to make sense of the world.
Planting
Children talk about where they live, their environment, their families and past and present events in their own lives. They explore and recognise features of living things, objects and events in the natural and man-made world and look closely at similarities, differences, patterns and change. They show an awareness of the purposes of some features of the area in which they live. They talk about their observations, sometimes recording them and ask questions to gain information about why things happen and how things work. They explore and select materials and equipment and use skills such as cutting, joining, folding and building for a variety of purposes. They use technology, where appropriate, to support their learning.
Exploring the outside environment
In Upper Foundation children will continue to investigate objects and materials by using all their senses as appropriate.
