Review of Progress and Achievements

We started the year with 10 on our books and ended the year with 17.

Autumn term began with our ‘all about me’ where children painted their self-portrait. Along with our autumn season topic- the great big enormous turnip. The children enjoyed listening to the story and ac�ng it out on a playful way. The children also learned, sheep, ladybird, pigs. The children enjoyed autumn walk, apple prin�ng, and exploring the change of the season. Autumn �me is scarecrow �me, we made our very own scarecrow.

This was followed by our Christmas celebra�on period. We took part in the Christmas window celebra�on and made a lovey picture for all to see. 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.

our emo�ons cloud and talked about different feelings and that they can some�mes feel the same. We had our well-being breathing exercise week , where the children found it funny watching a toy rolling of their belly when they where breathing in and out whilst lying on the floor. This then brought us into the Easter period, with lots of ac�vi�es and more fun. This year we celebrated EID, due to Ramadan falling into the Easter holidays. The children loved learning and retelling/ ac�ng “we are going on a bear hunt”. We also introduced brushing teeth, all the children were given their own toothbrushes and were encouraged to prac�se daily.

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.
