Beyond the Nursery
At Muriel Green, we believe that education should go beyond the classroom, and give children every opportunity to connect to nature, community and the outside world.
​
Meeting new people and exploring places beyond the nursery gives your child the foundation they need to become confident citizens of the world. It allows their innate love of nature to flourish, and supports their long term health, happiness and wellbeing.
Community walks
We regularly go on walks into the community to help children understand their place in the wider world.
​
We visit buildings of interest, the community park, the market and much more. The trips build curriculum skills and bridge gaps in children’s knowledge. For example, by visiting a fruit stall, they understand seasonality better.
​
The walks are rich and exciting experiences, and children enjoy finding out about their local community.
Embracing the Community
We warmly invite the wider community into Muriel Green, encouraging children to become curious, open and accepting learners.
​
We celebrate a wide range of festivals and explore a range of cultural heritage represented within the School and beyond. This is achieved by by inviting families to share stories and recipes from their culture and to share their home language. Children are invited to share photographs of their parents/carers and families, or holidays and trips they have enjoyed together.
​
We also invite members of the community from different professions, religions and cultures to come and share their stories.
​
Embracing the community creates an atmosphere of warmth, inclusion and acceptance at the School.
