EYFS Activities - An A to Z of learning: P is for…people, police, politics and plans

From family members to the police and shopkeepers, the local community is part of nursery life, as are political issues and making plans. By the Rachel Keeling Nursery School team

Children arrive at school already armed with a wealth of cultural capital and knowledge about the world around them. We want children to be invested in their family, school, community and the world they inhabit.

We talk with children about the wider world, and this often starts with people in their family.

PEOPLE

Families are very much part of the life of our school – we invite them to share information and photos so that they are visible and their voices are heard in nursery.

Each child has a Special Book which documents their learning. Families feed into this book (with the permission of the child) and photographs of people who are special to the child are included.
