Summer Planning – Why we do what we do (our beginning)

As a staff team we continuously review the opportunities and experiences our children have been exposed to throughout the year. This gives us great insight into areas that have been well covered such as literacy, numeracy and health and wellbeing and areas that could be doing with further exploration. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions a lot of our more social and creative areas weren’t as explored as we would have liked, therefore there will be lots of opportunity throughout the coming weeks for each child to experience these through play, provocation and good old curiosity. Each week a member of our team will upload a recap of this onto each child’s individual online profile. This gives families a chance to see all the curricular areas that have been covered whilst our children simply feel like they have been having fun with their friends – exactly how it should be!

Individual next steps for children have now been closed and for the duration of the Summer the children’s learning will be tracked focusing more on breadth and depth of experience/opportunity appose to individual progression and development – please do not be confused by this though, we will still be scaffolding and tracking each child’s learning, just using a more holistic/generic approach to do so.

SHANARRI and every day EYC experiences

SAFE – When using tools in the garden we understand that we need to do this safely. We should not be running around or using them for things that may hurt us or our friends.

 

HEALTHY – We have been learning the journey of food and which food types keep our bodies healthy.

ACHIEVEING – We know that by tending to, and watering our seedlings we will be successful in growing our tasty vegetables.

NURTURED – By learning how to grow our own vegetables we are nurturing our own knowledge and life skills.  We are also exposed to a great visual on the power of nurture in action. 

 

 

 

 

ACTIVE – We have to use our muscles to dig our soil and pull any weeds.

 

 

RESPECTED – We respect that we all have different tastes, likes and dislikes.

 

RESPONSIBLE – We understand that we have to take care of our vegetables in order for them to grow.

 

INCLUDED – We explore different foods from all around the world experiencing and learning about different cultures and food journeys.
