Review of Progress and Achievements
We started the year with 7 on our books and ended the year with 13.
Autumn term began with our ‘all about me’ where children painted their self-portrait. Along with our autumn season topic- Hiberna�on. The children made their own hiberna�on box colle�ng twigs and made a hedgehog out of clay. It was great fun learning about animals that go to sleep in the winter. The children enjoyed autumn walks, conker rolling and exploring the change of the season.
This was followed by our Christmas celebra�on period, we had our annual Christmas ac�vity morning, without parents. The children were busy making their ac�vi�es and had a visit from Father Christmas.
January took us into a new area, Pip re�red from her role as the long standing Preschool manager. We also celebrated the Chinese New Year and all the fun it always brings with it. The rising 5’s learned a tradi�onal Chinese New Year dance and prac�ce Chinese wri�ng. All the children enjoyed making wonderful cra�s and learning about the story of the Chinese animals.
us into the Easter period, with lots of ac�vi�es and more fun.
We also celebrated Ramadan, the children learned about Ramadan and the celebra�on of it.
The summer term brought us into summery spirits, playing on the pa�o and in our garden, visi�ng Margaret’s farm, beach week where the children enjoyed a week full of water and sand.
children made their very own fire picture out of �ssue and crepe paper.
We learned about the life cycle of a butterfly, enjoyed sports day
Also interweaved into all that we had 2year old checks to do on the younger children, end of year reports.
We all enjoyed our end of year tea party with lots of fun games and soft play area.
The rising 5,s had their very own prom party, dressed in their best with DJ Freddy setting the groove.
The year brought many changes with Pip retiring and Fabs taking over, all Covid restrictions have been lifted, though we kept some of the changes, such as the greeting/ dropping off and collecting of children by the door, ensuring good hygiene throughout. We introduced hooks with the children’s pictures and names on it.
Numbers were low to start with and increased by the end of the year, sending 5 children to primary school in the September 2022.
