The new Curriculum for Excellence comes into practice from summer 2010. We have been embedding this since 2008. The curriculum has four capacities: Confident Individuals, Responsible Citizens, Successful Learners, Effective Contributors which are broken down into eight strands: Health and Wellbeing, Literacy and English, Numeracy and maths, Technology, Science, Expressive arts, Religious and Moral Studies and Social Studies.

Allowing children to develop a healthy lifestyle through physical activity, positive emotional, mental and social development as well as knowing the link between food and health. By allowing children to make choices, develop ideas and develop confidence in themselves and their abilities.

Giving the children the opportunity to talk, listen, read and write on a daily basis by encouraging children to share experiences. Contribute to discussions giving children access to different styles of texts i.e fiction and non fictional books, poems, newspaper, charts and maps, instruction books and letters. We also use print in different languages + show an awareness to languages other than english spoken by the children in the nursery.

Develop children's numeracy skills across all areas of the curriculum. Children are encouraged to count, measure and weigh, use money and have awareness of time and problem solve.

Celebrate religions and cultural festivals and respect the different faiths of the families within the nursery and in society. We encourage children to show respect for themselves and other as well as developing an awareness of what is right and wrong.

Children are encouraged to learn about people around the world and in their local environment as well as looking at how people lived in the past or in the different circumstances. We also look at the Scottish culture.
