Green Group Curriculum
Topics
Throughout the year we cover many exciting topics. Each month, a new topic is introduced, and it is our aim to ensure that the main activities, discussions, arts, crafts, games, songs and stories will relate to the relevant topic at that time.
Arts & Crafts
Our arts and craft activities are devised to provide the children with the freedom to experiment with different mediums, and to be as creative as possible. It is our aim to strengthen the children’s motor skills during these activities, by using scissors, fine paint brushes, etc.
Language Skills
We focus very strongly on language skills by reading stories, singing songs and devising games and activities which help to broaden the children’s vocabulary as well as encouraging them to speak in full sentences.
Literacy and Numeracy Skills
We aim to strengthen the children’s basic literacy and numeracy skills by playing games which are based around counting, number recognition, shapes and colours.
Self-Sufficiency
We pay a lot of attention to building the children’s concentration, sitting skills and attention span. We encourage the children to be self-sufficient (e.g. pouring their own water, dressing themselves and going to the toilet), which helps to build their confidence. Following instructions, putting hands up before speaking during group discussions, as well as and snack and lunchtime manners are important and always highly praised.
