Bo-Peep Nursery

Problem solving, Reasoning and Numeracy 

Through practical experience, children become familiar with sorting, matching, ordering, sequencing and counting activities that form the basis of early numeracy. They learn to identify objects by shape, colour size and number. Songs, games and books help children become aware of number sequences and when they show readiness, we use simple mathematical operations such as adding and taking away. 

    

Knowledge and Understanding of the World 

A safe and stimulating environment allows the children to explore and experiment with a wide range of natural and manufactured materials. This enables them to extend their technological understanding, using simple tools and techniques to achieve their intentions and solve problems.

    

Creative Development

Children are encouraged to use a wide range of resources in order to express their own ideas and feelings. Art equipment, including paint, glue, crayons and pencils as well as natural discarded resources, provides for open- ended exploration of colour, shape and texture and the development of skills in painting, drawing and collage. There are many opportunities for imaginative role- play, both individually and as part of the group.

    

Technology

We aim to introduce each child to basic computer knowledge using age and stage appropriate equipment thus supporting and extending all areas of their learning. 
The ICT programmes are varied and provide added value in reinforcing many Basic English language learning skills. Specific language and literacy skills can be tackled in an entertaining and motivating way. We are equipped with 3 Laptops that have 8 different, exciting and educational and interactive programmes installed, a printer, a tape recorder, headphones, digital camera, a talking album, story headphones and other programmable toys.
