Big Question
Our Curriculum
In the Early Years we follow the Development Matters Curriculum 2021. Please find below our Long Term plan for the year commencing September 2025. The plan outlines the topics we will be covering throughout the year and shows some of the areas we will be focusing on. We have three Prime areas, which we focus on Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development, throughout the year but particularly in the first term to help our children settle and feel confident and happy to be at Nursery.
Autumn 2
When will it snow?
This term we will be spending a lot of time learning about the world around us. There will be a big focus on the Understanding the World area of our curriculum.
The children will learn about the changes that are taking place in the world outside. We will look closely at the changing weather and explore what happens to water when it gets really cold outside.
We will be exploring creative ways to represent the amazing Autumnal colours in our environment.
We will also be exploring the many festivals that take place at this time of year and how colour is used within these festivals to brighten up the dark nights.
It is going to be a very exciting term with lots of fantastic learning opportunities.
You can find our planning and lots of information about our Big Question below.
