We want to provide learning opportunities for children to:
- develop confidence, self-esteem and a sense of security;
- care for themselves and their personal safety;
- develop independence, for example in dressing and personal hygiene;
- persevere in tasks which at first present some difficulties;
- form positive relationships with other children and adults and begin to develop particular friendships with other children;
- become aware of and respect the needs and feelings of others in their behaviour, and learn to follow rules;
- play co-operatively and share resources;
- become aware that the celebration of culture and religious festivals is important in peoples lives;
- develop positive attitudes towards others whose gender, language, religion or culture, for example, is different from their own;
- care for the environment and for other people in the community.
