The Inventors is our older aged group catering for children aged three and a half up to five and a half. In this room learning opportunities are planned from children’s needs and interests and include ways to encourage early literacy and numeracy, communication skills and the ability to understand the world around them. Practitioners support the group to reach their goals. Children in this room build on the skills and dispositions they already have. They begin to exhibit positive attitudes towards investigation and learning. The Inventors are encouraged to express themselves creatively and imaginatively. We support them to voice their feelings in a way they are comfortable with. Over the year, children develop the necessary skills to become “school” ready. To help the smooth transition into The Mercy Primary school, Practitioners link in with the school teachers to ensure continuity of top quality care and education.
