We understand that children are individuals and develop and learn at different rates, we use the characteristics of effective teaching and learning to guide good practice when planning for learning opportunities.

 

Characteristics of Effective Teaching and Learning 
Playing and exploring  Active learning  Creating and thinking critically 
- Children investigate and experience things and 'have a go'.  - Children concentrate and keep on trying if they
encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements
- Children have and develop their own
ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things

 

We are passionate in ensuring that teaching and learning takes place both indoors and outdoors. Children take the lead on their own learning and highly skilled staff are able to model, scaffold and extend learning opportunities.
