These observations involved parental input and observing children in each of the EYFS learning areas according to their particular age range. - We decided that the staff will take on a group of key children this year, for all their areas of learning and their pastoral care. We observed, and made records of the Early Learning Goals that each child is already able to achieve, as an initial baseline assessment. ## **Age groups: SQUIRRELS 22-36Mths.

## THEME: Getting to know you. ## **SEPTEMBER 2021.** This term we are still suffering the consequences of the pandemic restrictions and guidelines. We have worked very hard to make sure that the building is as safe as it can possibly be. I have been in numerous discussions with Martin, the Centre manager regarding cleaning and the availability for us to stay behind after hours to clean and prepare the equipment and toys for the next day. He is trying to be accommodating. We have had to implement new equipment like coat racks, water bottle holders etc .. We now ask that children bring in their own snack and drink to save us time in the kitchen preparing. **2** **PSE** carer, surprisingly this has been very successful so wewill defnitely keep this going .. **Making Relationships Self** defnitely keep this going .. **confidence** So now the children are becoming experts at removing **Managing feelings & behaviour.** their coats unpacking their bags and gel-ing their hands, just like they do in ‘big school’ We are now going back down to the main school for our lunches then spending as much time outside as possible. The weather is beautiful for September. ## **OCTOBER 2021.** ## **ALL ABOUT ME.** We now enjoy phonics each day with Amanda Broughton from reception, this will help enormously with the children literacy with sounding letters, learning rhymes and forming the letters correctly ready for their transition to the next stage. We are going to see how this progresses and will re-assess in January. We discussed families and home life: Who lives in my house .. pets .. grandparents etc.. ## **AUTUMN.** We enjoyed autumn I spy and made autumn pictures, followed by: ## **HALLOWEEN & BONFIRE NIGHT** We followed the Funny Bones story with songs and rhymes, using cotton buds for skeleton pictures. **DIWALI** was celebrated by making Diyas out of clay and listened to stories about the festival of light. **3** **REMEMBRANCE** We made poppies and explained why we remember those who lost their lives for us. During this term we covered all areas of development, but concentrated mostly on the 3 Prime areas which are: Personal Social & Emotional Development - Physical Development and Communication & Language. **CHRISTMAS** - The children ‘ELF-ED THEMSELVES’ and lots of other crafts and decorations. The children acted out the story of Christmas with puppets and knitted toys, and we also learnt ‘We wish you a merry Christmas’ in Makaton sign language. We attempted name writing on the Christmas cards we made. ## **HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.** ## **In The Moment Planning:** ## **WINTER ANIMALS** **JANUARY 2022** The Spanish sessions with Jo Carver have been a great hit, the children are learning very quickly. **4** **EAD EXPLORING & USING MEDIA & MATERIALS, BEING IMAGINATIVE.** **iPad Time** in small doses! Helping the children with control and hand eye co- ordination. **MATH S NUMBERS,** We recognised numbers to quantity 1 - 10 and beyond. **SPACE & SHAPE MEASURE** We used the soft play to build and recognise shapes. We worked on dot-dot sheets up to number 1 - 20. We weighed and measured the ingredients to make our own playdough following the recipe and we made ‘shape animals’ out of Triangles, circles and squares. **LIT** **READING AND WRITING.** We worked on attention and relaying what happened next? During story time. Phonics have really come on, the children are now sounding out short words and beginning to read. Our two new apprentices have now almost fnished their time with us, we have a vacancy for one only, so interviews will be done in February, we have had them with us for 12 months. **PHYS** **MOVING & HANDLING** Health & self care Full of Beans with Danny is still a huge hit, the children learn about their muscles with yoga poses and various routines **5** and stretches. We discuss healthy eating, why we get hot and why we must drink plenty of water. Outdoor play takes place on the play area with climbing spinning and lots of obstacles to explore. We also use the playing feld every day after lunch. **C&L** **LISTENING & ATTENTION** Understanding & speaking Each morning we have circle time, the children tell us any news they might have. We listen and ask questions. We also enjoy our ‘Wakey Shakey’ song, and we all join in singing and dancing. ## **EASTER TERM 2022** **MARCH -** We said goodbye to Beth this month, but hello to Alicia who we have taken on permanently. The fnal week was difficult due to lack of staff, but everyone helped and we got through! **MOTHERS DAY -** We discussed all the things mummy does to help us and others. We made heart cards with fngerprints, we painted a picture of our mummies, we talked about how many people live in our house and drew our family. We talked about going shopping, and we played the shopping game: trying to remember what was on the list! **Easter week** - We played ‘What’s in the box?’ We did 2 **MATH ,** egg hunts, one inside and one outside. **S NUMBER S SHAPE SPACE &** We estimated how many eggs in the basket. **MEASUR E** We matched numbers to quantity. **----- Start of picture text -----**

We have spent a lot of time outside playing, due to the weather being so good, we even tried to make cloud dough and played with the water outside. We have been making smoothie lollies, the children have selected pictures of which fruit they would choose and they stuck them onto a recipe sheet. We then made the lollies and put them in the freezer. The week after we all brought in our Teddies and had a teddy bears picnic outside on the feld and enjoyed our home made lollies!! We have played with the focus board this term, and dressed dollies in different types of school uniform and P.E kits. PhonicTime … We are all now sitting beautifully and doing **LIT** speedy writing with Amanda. We know all our 26 letters **READING** and we are beginning to blend the sounds into words and **AND WRITING.** start to read. As part of our ‘in the community’ work, we are taking the children into the ‘Link Cafe’ to join local residents for a drink and a piece of toast. We are enjoying our last few weeks with this cohort, the children are now ready for their transition into big school. We are having sports day and a leavers party for the children. At the party we have booked a bouncy castle, donkey rides and face painting. Parents and carers are invited to join us for a picnic on the feld to celebrate their children’s last few days in pre-school. **8** CHARITY COMMISSION l Fott EN6IAtID ANb WALES Receipts and ments accounts CC16a ForlhB To Section A Receipts and payments lJnr¢strtCtsd lun(b Restricted Endowrn¢nt funds Total fund$ L&5t year Al Rfjul *7m ¥J.111 3J,168 nltr 721 ub tOt*llGrts￿mJcQMtr for ARJ 139.4 A•••1 and In¥•thxffl MIM, IM• tAbl•l. rot•lrn¢•lpis 139.464 IJDA 132.1JQ A3P• Mll1 3.1J• 10.?4J Yili klRC 1JJ 6,761 J.1SF 1).gL Otslou 775 7•2 Unikrn LWR(AI$Lts1 cRecn4 J17 ¥7 hnwm 134 Sub total IM012 13gM12 117,216 A4 A￿•1 and 1nvv4ts￿rt Sub tothi IJ•N12 NetOf*weI￿(pj￿?￿ts) AJ Tr*nsf•r¥ b•twepnfurKI Al Cash lunds last yearend Cash ILtnds thls y•or 4$2 4.832 75.151 75.157 75,eo 70.325 7*157 CCXX R1 ac¢4YJntslSSI 1141A3 Section B Statement of assets and liabilities at the end of the period Vnrvtrlcl•d JndB Ro•trfcted nda Endowment f￿nd1 ?&oo fund• fvn Delalls C¥wi 84 A•••t• r•t•lMd l•rth• eh•rfty'* own u BO Ulbllltb Lknleof HEz/£s ai IH133 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND ANO WAIES Independent examinerfs report on the accounts Section A Independent Examiner's Reptsrt Roport to th• trust••• St BrwJg8t$ Prn Schcd Group Iwest Kirby) On •ccounts for th• y•ar •nd•d 311tAW2022 C￿rIty no 1114nyl 103S116 8•t outon P•9 I r8Wt to t￿trUSt￿8 cfi my ¢xaminotion ofthe K¢>Junts ol the above tharty Tnk8t"I forth8 ￿r ended Ro•pon•lbS11119• and Iwls of r•port 8ccourrt¥ in wuirwTwts ofthe chant￿ Act 2011 A￿1.
