Achlevements and Perforniance
Durlng the year the preschool was still affected by Covid-19 wlth staff havlng time off due to
contracting the illness or having to isolate because they had been In contact wlth someone with the
illness. We kept ourselves up to date with the latest guidance.
In September we welcomed new chlldren, many of whom hadn't left their parents because of the
pandemic. and they were unsettled at the start. We introduced the new EYFS, u5in8 the training we
had undertaken to help us to prepare for the changes this brought.
We worked hard to give the chlldren many new experiences whllst parents were stlll hesltant about
their children mixing. We celebrated Children in Need and World Book Day, whlch we made Into a
full week using books. puppets. and other resources to create stories. We went for a visit to the local
church to learn about the Easter story. We also celebrated Eid. Ramadan, Chinese New Year, and
Chrlstmas wlth the children and their families. The children enjoyed the different foods we
introduced them to over the year.
In the Summer the children got to watch tiny caterpillars turning into butterflies, then being released
in the garden to fly away. We also watched duck eggs hatch in an incubator and grow bigger. We set
up a small pool and the children loved watchlng the ducklings swim and dive under the water.
From January 2022 we started to use the neW"SuC￿$s for All" to help wtth our planning and themes.
This follows the same scheme that the school we are attached to uses. We also moved to a new
phonics scheme that is recognised by the government, using the resources they provided.

shopping.
