Brighter learning approach
Teaching children about our Wonderful World
It is crucial for children to learn about our Wonderful World, the environment, planet, and community to develop a holistic understanding of the interconnectedness of all living things.
This knowledge helps children develop empathy and respect for different cultures, species, and ecosystems. Children who understand the importance of protecting our planet and its natural resources are more likely to become environmentally responsible.
Learning about the community also helps children appreciate the diversity of individuals and groups within it, which promotes a sense of inclusion and belonging.
Children’s personal, social and emotional development (PSED) is crucial for children to lead healthy and happy lives, and is fundamental to their cognitive development. Underpinning their personal development are the important attachments that shape their social world.
Strong, warm and supportive relationships with adults enable children to learn how to understand their own feelings and those of others. Children should be supported to manage emotions, develop a positive sense of self, set themselves simple goals, have confidence in their own abilities, to persist and wait for what they want and direct attention as necessary.
Through adult modelling and guidance, they will learn how to look after their bodies, including healthy eating, and manage personal needs independently.
Through supported interaction with other children, they learn how to make good friendships, co-operate and resolve conflicts peaceably. These attributes will provide a secure platform from which children can achieve at school and in later life
