CURRICULUM FOR EXCELLENCE

The Scottish government’s aspirations for each child is that they should become:

• Successful learners
• Confident individuals
• Responsible citizens
• Effective contributors

Children’s experiences in Paxton Nursery will contribute to the achievement of these aims.

They will develop these capacities by, for example:

• Successful learners through using their imagination and creativity, tackling new experiences and learning from them, and developing important skills including literacy and numeracy through               exploring and investigating while following their own interests.
• Confident individuals through succeeding in their activities, having the satisfaction of a task accomplished, learning about bouncing back from setbacks, and dealing safely with risk
• Responsible citizens through encountering different ways of       seeing the world, learning to share and give and take, learning to respect themselves and others, and taking part in making decisions
• Effective contributors through playing together in leading or      supporting roles, tackling problems, extending communication skills, taking part in sustained talking and thinking, and                          respecting the opinions of others.

We plan for the following areas of your child’s development and are pleased to discuss what we are doing with you, you are also welcome to stay and join in!
