Understanding the World Planning 2-3 Years – Daily/Weekly Planning for the Whole Year

The planning covers daily plans every week for one whole year for ages 2-3 years old. The objectives are in line with Development Matters and include revisit & review, teach, practice, apply, success criteria and key vocabulary.

Teaching 2-3-year-olds about the world is highly beneficial for several reasons:

Language Skills: Learning about the world introduces children to new vocabulary and language structures. This enhances their communication skills and helps them express their thoughts and feelings more effectively.

Social Understanding: Understanding the world helps children grasp social concepts, such as different cultures, traditions, and behaviours. This fosters empathy, tolerance, and social skills, making it easier for them to interact with others.

Curiosity and Exploration: Introducing young children to diverse topics nurtures their natural curiosity. It encourages them to ask questions, seek answers, and explore their environment, laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

Emotional Growth: Learning about various aspects of the world can help children understand their emotions and those of others. This emotional intelligence is crucial for developing healthy relationships and coping with challenges.

Sense of Identity and Belonging: Teaching children about their surroundings and the broader world helps them understand their place within it. This sense of identity and belonging is important for self-esteem and confidence.

Overall, teaching 2-3-year-olds about the world provides a strong foundation for their intellectual, social, and emotional development, setting them up for future success.
