Our Curriculum

At Gill Blowers we have adopted the key concepts of the Curiosity and Natural Thinkers approaches. Using real life objects in first hand learning experiences, inside and out, children develop their interpersonal skills and creative, critical thinking.

Children are encouraged to follow their own ideas with real, natural resources and loose parts. Skilled practitioners use a blend of teaching and scaffolding to encourage children to broaden, stretch and embed their learning. Children are supported to question, explore, experiment, develop hypotheses and test ideas, and reflect their learning.

Our curriculum has evolved from National Guidance Documentation – Development Matters, Birth to Five, Universally Speaking and the EYFS Statutory Guidance. We have created detailed long term and medium term planning to faciliate a sequenced and structured curriculum to guide our children towards our ‘RICCHER’ vision.
