We, the staff of Good Shepherd Nursery School, believe that Nursery Education is a very valuable and important experience for all children. We see it as an extension to compliment the love and care already experienced by the child at home. Each child is an individual with different needs. Our awareness of this allows us to organize a varied curriculum which will enable all the children in our care to reach their full potential.
Teaching the children to become more confident in their space and have a growing awareness of nature and biodiversity all around them. We will focus on dark nights, how to keep safe(linked to our Transport theme) and Eco concepts through our Halloween theme. Introduce colours(orange and black) into as many recyclable materials and resources as possible.
We will also talk about transport, how we get to nursery, who walks, who drives, takes a bus or a taxi. We continually encourage the children to notice the changes in weather with the changing seasons and give them a running commentary on what we notice around them. We will talk about food sources, dinners, snack, vegetables we use and prefer eating in colder weather. in winter time.
Experiment with different materials (Junk Art) and resources from home and school creating wonderful pieces of art (recycling). Reinforcing the importance of saving energy (visual displays of eco helpers) (energy) switching off lights, closing doors. Turning off taps.
