LPSG is overseen by Early Years Scotland and follows the National Practice Guidance for Early Years in Scotland (Realising the Ambition) and GIRFEC
We strive to provide:
Experiences which:
• Are new and stimulate enthusiasm, new learning and curiosity, balanced with more familiar experiences, which can be revisited and tested out in different ways.
• Develop a sense of risk.
• Encourage the young child to talk with each other and adults, and the growing awareness of the part each plays in a conversation.
• Help the young child remember how they have used materials and solved problems in the past and how they can relate this learning to the task in hand.
• Allow children to determine what they want to learn, form their own plans and gives ownership in discussion with an adult when they want to stop.
• Give children a sense of wonder and stimulate questioning and ability to reason and test conclusions.
• Allow children to play outside, get fresh air and physical exercise.
Adults who:
• Help children make sensible choices about their learning by involving them in making decisions about what could be provided and evaluating their own experiences
• Understand children will start at different points and encourage them to try activities at the appropriate level
• Make time to talk and listen to what a young child is saying and try to build on their meaning and reply in a way that children will understand; but also models new language and descriptions
• Help children express ideas by singing, making music and role playing; encourage children to try out new things, using children’s interest as a starting point
An environment which:
• Gives a balance of being in and out of doors so that children are confident in different environments
• Encourages children’s own sense of self by using their names, both oral and written, and those of friends and family frequently
• Organises resources which enable children to make choices, and share in others choices and provides resources which are clearly labelled and where children know to find and replace them
• Has comfortable places to relax, be quiet and be with friends; has plenty for the young child to talk about, imagining and creating, reasoning and testing out, sharing and negotiating, talking about the past, present and the future
• Reflects the world of print, literacy and numeracy and the increasing use of technologies to support learning
• Gives time to persevere with inquiry learning and time to start a project and continue it over several days
