Knowledge and Understanding of the World

Children will experience the familiar world by using their senses through exploring, asking questions, investigation and experimenting in both the outdoor and indoor environment. They also develop an understanding of the wider eenvironment, the changing seasons and the natural world through outings in the local community and walks. Whilst working in the nursery garden they are learning to care for living things by planting, weeding and tending to seeds, this also allows for the observation of plants and mini beasts. Our own mud kitchen has been a big hit giving children an opportunity for creative messy play and other scientific experiments. Children are taught about places, events and people from the past as well as the present and how diverse the world is.
