Week ending

What we have been learning about

11/9/26 This week in LAN, we have been learning all about ourselves and what makes each of us special and unique. We explored our story Kindness Makes Us Strong, which was a lovely way to begin our first full week together. Through the story, we talked about sharing, caring and friendship, and how our kind actions can make a big difference to others. As part of our “All About Me” learning, we have been talking about ourselves, our likes and dislikes, and the things that make us who we are. We have also been busy creating our own self-portraits, looking carefully at our features and choosing colours to represent ourselves. The children have enjoyed lots of hands-on learning throughout the week, developing their creativity and fine motor skills through playdough, chalk colouring, cutting and sticking activities. It has been a wonderful week of learning, creating, building friendships and celebrating what makes us all unique!
4/9/26 What a wonderful start to the new school year! This week, we were so excited to welcome all of our children back to LAN after the summer holidays. It has been lovely to see familiar faces again and to welcome new friends into our class. We have had a fantastic two days settling back into our school routines, spending time together and sharing what we did over the holidays. There has been lots of excitement, smiles and happy chatter as we begin our new school year together. We are so proud of how wonderfully the children have settled in, and we can’t wait for our first full week together next week. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
