Big Question

Our Curriculum

In the Early Years we follow the Development Matters Curriculum 2021. Please find below our Long Term plan for the year commencing September 2025. The plan outlines the topics we will be covering throughout the year and shows some of the areas we will be focusing on. We have three Prime areas, which we focus on Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development, throughout the year but particularly in the first term to help our children settle and feel confident and happy to be at Nursery.

Autumn 2

Why do the leaves fall from the trees?

This term we will be learning about the World around us and how it is changing in preparation for Winter. We will learn about the season of Autumn and what happens to the trees and animals at this time of year.

We will also be learning about what happens as the weather turns colder and water begins to freeze outside! We will be using our outdoor environment a lot, so get wrapped up warm!

We will be using spontaneous learning experiences, such as drawing and writing with warm water in the ice and snow!

We will also be helping the children to learn about special events that take place in these darker months, such as Diwali, Bonfire Night and Christmas.

Please take a look at the information below, so that you can help your child with their learning this term.

If you have any questions about any of the activities we have planned, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of the Nursery Team.
