Dreams and goals

 

I can try something new, not giving up if I don’t succeed first time. Discuss

things that might take time to learn. Set a relevant goal (e.g. I want to learn to build a wall of Lego or do a Jigsaw) I know who I can ask for help if I need to. I can work well with a small group. I can celebrate my own success and the success of my friends.

Healthy me

snacks. Identify which

exercise activities I like to do.

salad, healthy pitta pizza etc.) I recognise the

things that I do to get ready for bedtime. Recognise when my face or teeth are dirty and be involved in cleaning myself.

 

Relationships

 

I recognise and name the people in my family and begin to say what jobs they do at

home. Who are your

friends and why do you like them? Look at kind and unkind words.

I can say how to be a kind friend.

Changing me

 

I can name parts of my body.

I can tell you what I can do and what

foods I like to eat. I know that I have

grown from a baby and that I will get bigger.
