Children of this age will be encouraged to take pride in their achievements. They will begin to show care and concern for others, for living things and for the environment. Their development will lead the children to begin to use more complex sentences and use a widening range of words to express or elaborate on ideas; they will listen with enjoyment to stories, rhymes and music. They will use number language spontaneously and will be able to match number and quantity correctly and will begin to count beyond ten. They will be able to complete a simple programme on a computer and will talk about past and future events. Children will be encouraged to explore colour, shape, texture and space in two or three dimensions and will be allowed to use their imagination in art, dance, role play and stories. They will understand that words carry meaning and will begin to form letters with corresponding sounds.
