Understanding of the World

Our Principle goals are for all children to

  • Be Independent
  • Be Confident
  • Become an interested reader and writer
  • Become a problem solver
  • Be resilient
  • Be inquisitive
  • Be a good friend
  • Be at one with nature

We aim for all children to  gain a greater understanding of the wonderful world in which we live and the people who live in it.  We encourage respect and develop children’s knowledge of the people and communities, both in our immediate vicinity and in the wider world.  We aim for our children to recognise similarities and differences in people and understand that we are all unique.  We want our children to care for the environment and immerse themselves in nature through our Forest School approach.  We aim to develop children’s curiosity and provide opportunities to explore, investigate and experiment.
