Nothing is more important in Davidson’s Mains Primary than the happiness and individual welfare of the children in our care. We are privileged to share in their educational and personal development and achievements. We are concerned at all time with pupils' attainments in order to ensure that every child makes the most of his or her abilities and is happy in school.

The aims of primary school education include the creation within the school of a caring and secure environment in which every child feels happy, confident and valued as an individual; the continuation, in co-operation with the home, of the long process of educating the child towards responsible citizenship; the promotion of close home, school and community relationships; the development of a balanced programme of learning which also lays emphasis on the acquisition of basic skills.

Each session lasts two and a half hours.

Morning session: 9.00am - 11.30am

We open our doors a little in advance of these times to try to avoid parents all arriving at the same time.

Afternoon session 12.25 and 2.50

It is important that you arrive in good time, before the start of the session!

  • Encouraging caring and co-operative relationships, respect for others in school and the wider community.

It is through play and directed activities that the children will learn skills, attitudes and knowledge in the following areas:

EMOTIONAL PERSONAL AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

In this vital area we help the children to develop positive attitudes and behaviour towards, themselves, others and the environment.

COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE

Listening
Children learn to listen to adults, other children, to letter sounds and rhymes and to identify sounds in the environment. We help children to listen to instructions and follow directions.

Reading
Children learn how stories are read and how to use all kinds of books. They find out about titles, authors and illustrations. They learn to recognise letters, signs and words in books, from the computer and in their every day environment.

Writing
Children begin to develop hand control as they use pencils, pens, brushes, scissors and many other tools and toys. Staff provide different examples of print and act as a role model for writing. The children learn letter and number shapes and also the purpose of print.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD

Children explore the local and wider environment at different times of the year to experience and understand changes over time, Weather, seasons and times of day. We encourage learning and exploration using the senses, observation by asking questions, prediction, guessing and problem solving. Opportunities are given to explore numbering, shape, colour and size. The children learn the language of mathematics through play, songs games and rhymes.

EXPRESSIVE AND AESTHETIC DEVELOPMENT

Art
The children get to experiment with a range of colours, materials and techniques to help them express their thoughts and feelings through their artwork.

Drama
Role-play puppets, rhymes and stories are used to re-create and invent situations. Each group gets regular drama experience.

Music
Singing, playing instruments, movement and dance all help the children develop a sense of rhythm and give them another important means of expression. Once a week all the groups join up for one big group music time.

Physical Development and Movement
The outdoor area and equipment are used for energetic activities where children develop and learn to run, jump, skip, climb, balance, throw, catch and use space. Small muscle movements, hand control and grip are developed during the inside activities such as writing, painting, using sand, dough, threading, cutting and sewing. Regular opportunities are provided for physical development and movement.
