This half of the term the children will be learning about "Querks".
Querks is based around 5 brothers and sisters who explore other parts of the world, as they no longer what to be Querks. When visiting the countries they try different foods, listen to music, dress up and dance and try to act as different animals. The moral of the story is that its's ok to be different. The children will be visiting one country per week and will be exploring all of the above.
- England - Barbados - Egypt - Bangladesh
The children will also be covering a topic based around sports in preparation for sports day, they will be practising their events and developing their gross motor skills.
If you would like to know more, please speak to your child's key person.

Good Beginnings Bronze Award
June 2018 the Stepping Stones team worked really hard to achieve the Bronze Good Beginnings: Early Years Autism-friendly setting award. In the future we will be working towards achieving the Silver award.
The staff had to gather evidence to create a portfolio to present to the Good Beginnings team; they spent the year updating their knowledge, developing their skills and attending various training courses. To celebrate our wonderful achievement, we invited parents in to see us being presented with our certificate.
