Environment

• Purpose built for young children
• Encourages and helps children to be independent
  in self-care and resource selection
• Allows children to work in a variety of ways e.g.
  on floors, tables, in adjacent rooms, outdoors
  this enables them to create their own work space

The Curriculum

• Planning and assessment ensures that each child
  progresses at an appropriate and acceptable rate.
• Children are introduced into a safe and secure
  environment
• They become socially integrated because of the
  mix of ages and abilities. They learn from and
  with other children.
• Through their practical experiences they develop
  social skills and learning skills through play,
  investigation and exploration

5
The Outdoors

• Good use is made of the Outdoor Environment,
  which includes a pond, sand pit and bikes.
• There is a wet weather kit available which allows
  daily access for all children.
• Children have been on walks and collected sticks
  to create a journey stick so that they can recall
  and talk about their journey.
• Digital pictures have been taken on a digital
  walk which allows the children to use ICT for a
  specific purpose.

The Fire of London

• Combined teaching about the subject with
  practical experiences which allowed the children
  to feel and imagine what it may have been
  like to be alive when the Fire of London
  happened.
• The children baked bread made houses, pretended
  to be fire men without modern equipment, worked
  together to put out the fire.
• This topic or theme allowed the children to
  develop empathy and improve their listening,
  talking, sharing, turn-taking, independence and
  learning skills in a thoroughly enjoyable and
  interactive way.
