THE GREEN ENGAGEMENT PROGRAMME

EXTRA CURRICULAR

As part of our quest to offer our children as many new experiences as possible, we have integrated a number
of extra curricular activities into our daily program. These activities include the following at no extra cost:

• 

  Personal, Social &
  Environmental Development

  At Home Grown Children's Eco Nursery we provide our children with experiences and support
  to encourage them to develop a positive sense of themselves, their peers and their environment.
  Through stimulating and practical activities which guide the children to ask questions
  and consider consequences, we promote an understanding that people, animals,
  plants and habitats can live and work together harmoniously.

• 

  COMMUNICATION & LANGUAGE

  Children evolve from day to day and it is through language and communication that they learn
  to express themselves and respond to situations. We expose our children to many rich and diverse
  methods of communication developing skills and confidence to freely express themselves,
  answer and consider questions.

• 

  MATHEMATICS

  Our approach to Mathematics is to create a curiosity and sense of achievement
  through practical and vibrant activities. By combining counting, numerals, comparative
  language and simple sums with fun, organic and relevant tasks, we strive to meet each
  child's full potential and give them the skills and knowledge they require
  for the next step in their learning development.

• 

  UNDERSTANDING THE WORLD

  One of our main objectives is to help children make sense of their surroundings and the world.
  Children will be encouraged to question the source and origins of their food, toys and furniture
  and learn to gain a respect and love for life.

• 

  PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

  At such a young age, physical development is extremely important. We strive to motivate
  our children to use their bodies in an independent, challenging and interesting manner.
  Our indoor and outdoor space has been designed to encourage children to push boundaries
  and develop movement skills through guidance and praise. Using natural play-equipment
  children will be given the opportunity to discover our environment and learn about
  the importance of keeping healthy, active and in tune with nature.

• 

  EXPRESSIVE ARTS AND DESIGN

  At Home Grown Nursery we are committed to providing opportunities for children to experiment
  and fulfill their natural ability to be creative. As well as offering opportunities for children
  to express their feelings and ideas through movement, art, music, dance and role play,
  core skills such as literacy and numeracy will be taught using creative and engaging
  methods. Arts and music that has made an impact on the world will be introduced
  and different mediums explored. Children will have the opportunity to creatively
  explore natural elements,environments and habitats to appreciate
  our planet's natural creative development.

• 

  LITERACY

  Through the exploration of books, poems and songs our children develop a passion
  for new words and sounds (phonics) and the skills to mark make and form letters.
