McMillan Nursery School

Cultural Capital

We provide lots of exciting, real life experinces for our children.

Community:

We get to know our comunity by going on local walks and visits to the post box to post letters.

Police, Firefighters, Dentist, Morrisons Supermarket and the Imam from the local Mosque all come to visit us.

Experiences:

Flint the owl, visits nursery, and creatures from Little Zoo. We learn all about the animals and even stroke and hold them. Elsa and Anna, the Donkeys visit us in the Summer term, and we ride on the donkeys around our school grounds.  We have fictional characters come and read stories to us and we make pottery on a clay pottery wheel. 

 

Celebrations and/or observe:

We learn about different cultures and celebrations. We do charity work for Eid and Children in Need, we meet Father Christmas and his elf at Christmas, we learn to Dragon dance at Chinese New Year, we learn about Remembrance and Bonfire, we have a 'spooky fun at Halloween, we dress up as our favourite character at World Book Day, the Easter Bunny visits at Spring time and we learn about the Caribbean with a Beach experience. We also celebrate or observe if there are any other significant occasions, which may happen.
