Understanding of the World

Understanding of the World is about how children get to know about other people, the place where they live and about all aspects of the environment.  Finding out about the world around them is what children do very effectively when they investigate by touching, holding or pressing things and by climbing on and jumping off things. They are fuelled by curiosity and love to explore and investigate how and why things work and like to test out their ideas.  In the

Nursery we feel that this is important and children are guided to make sense of their physical world and their community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the environment.

Forest school features on our timetable on a weekly basis as we feel the experience provides excellent opportunities for play and exploration which gives children opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self esteem through hands on learning experiences in a natural  environment with trees.
