Kian McGowan

CB7 Class of 2021/22

Kian's learning

journey

Kian loves being outdoors and
engages in a variety of active play

opportunities. Most of all, Kian
loves water play, climbing and

swinging in the hammock.

Kian has been looking at the books in
class and his favourites are the

Peppa Pig books. Kian is also showing
lots of interest in our story themed

tuff trays.

Kian is
developing
his numeracy

skills by
investigating
the wooden

insert and
numeracy
puzzles. Kian
also explores
different
sized objects
during his
sand play
outdoors.

Kian is showing
great curiosity
and imaginative
play with our

large loose
parts outdoors.

Kian loves
exploring cause

and effect
opportunities

and enjoys
rolling the tyres

on the ground
and then

watching the
ball roll down

the ramp.

Kian is
showing so
much interest
and focus on a
variety of
activities on
offer in class

and is
responding
well to verbal
support of

simple
instructions
from an adult.

Kian loves physical interactions with the class adults
and will initiate these throughout the day by using his

body language and gestures.

Kian loves being outdoors and
enjoys discovering the changes
that happen to our environment

during the winter weather.

Kian is developing his
literacy and language

skills by having fun
investigating and
joining in with rhymes,

songs, musical
instruments and role

play activities.

Kian is eating really well at school
and is happy to taste new foods. Kian

has engaged well during our baking
sessions.

Kian had the most fun
at our local play park.
We had a lovely walk
there and back in the

sunshine and Kian
enjoyed the swings
and climbing on the

equipment.

Spring has sprung.

We have introduced a toothbrush to
Kian's personal care routine in the
afternoon and Kian is happy to have
his teeth brushed while he watches
carefully in the mirror. Kian is also
happily washing and drying his hands

with help from an adult.

Kian has
been

enjoying
dressing
up this
term and
engaging
with role

and
water
play toys.

Kian is showing a greater interest in
our class routine visuals and social
stories for transitions to other parts

of the school.

Park life.

CB7 ventured
down to the
woods and Kian
was delighted
when we found a
tree swing. After
having a turn,
Kian enjoyed
touching and
exploring the
sticks and tree

bark.

Kian is
showing

great
focus and
attention

on our
class
numeracy
and
literacy
play
activities.

We're playing in the rain.

Kian is developing his communications skills through
interactions with adults and his class friends throughout the
day. Kian listens intently when an adult is speaking to him and

is taking his turn using lots of vocalisations.

Kian is joining in with a
variety of play experiences

with his class friends in
class, during our gym
sessions and outdoors.

Kian has been practising
swinging on the ropes during our
gym sessions and can now swing
on a single rope with only a little

support from a class adult.

Kian has been
requesting

help from an
adult to ride
the trike and
the scooter

by taking
them by the
hand. Kian is
now happy to

wear a
helmet and
can pedal the

trike by
himself.

Kian is showing more
focus and attention

to the numeracy
based play activities

on offer in class.

Kian is always
showing off his
amazing climbing and
balancing skills
wherever we go.

Party!
Btoimune!cing
