Children Under 3
For Under 3s, we use Realising The Ambition Being me which is a national practice guidance to support staff. This document focuses on wellbeing, movement & coordination and creativity & curiosity which are the areas used within our planning for the room.
Our environment is offered to promote independence, confidence and good self-esteem. Principles we use in the playroom are based on the theory that children learn best from experiences that they plan and carry out by themselves.
Children aged 3-5
What is a Curriculum?
In Whatriggs ECC, the curriculum is everything that we do with your child that involves teaching, learning, and assessment.
A Curriculum for Excellence is for all children 3- 18 which means it will continue through Early Years, Primary and Secondary School for your child. The Curriculum is undergoing some changes and we will update you with anything relevant as this happens.
The Aims of Curriculum for Excellence are that every child and young person should know they are valued and will be supported to become a successful learner, an effective contributor, a confident individual and a responsible citizen.
We will communicate regular updates on how we feel your child is progressing and discuss the new learning targets for your child. These will be available on your child’s learning journals.
