Descriptor: Cognitive development focuses on nurturing children’s growing ability to think, reason, and make sense of the world around them. Throughout the year, children are encouraged to explore, question, and problem-solve through play and guided experiences that build understanding and curiosity. They begin to recognise patterns, sort and classify objects and make simple predictions based on what they observe. Activities are designed to strengthen both auditory and visual perception skills, supporting their ability to listen carefully, follow instructions, recognise differences and similarities, and recall details from memory. These foundational skills contribute to their readiness for more complex learning, helping them to concentrate for longer periods, process information effectively, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways.
