Planning a Text-led Curriculum in Pre-K - Understanding the World: Communities
Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community. This guidance considers each aspect outlined in Development Matters for 3 and 4 year olds as well as reception aged children.
It links each aspect with a number of texts which have a proven track record and provides guidance for focused activities. In addition, it makes suggestions about the development of continuous provision for each aspect.
Understanding the World: Communities covers Pre-K learning sequences for Nursery and Pre-K. It includes:
- ;Talking about members of their immediate family or community
- ;Recognising and celebrating differences in beliefs
- ;Understanding that some places are special to members of their community
- ;Naming and describing people who are familiar to them
