Children’s cultures, languages and identities are meaningfully integrated by teachers through the daily programme to create a multi-lingual programme. Teachers are deliberately responsive to children’s interests, strengths and capabilities. Teachers use a well-considered range of intentional teaching strategies to support children’s developing sense of belonging and enable them to become confident and competent learners.
Literacy learning is well-supported through the curriculum. Teachers purposefully engage older and younger children in different ways to extend their language, thinking and communication skills
