Making connections

Sofia, you have found a connection with Sana which came about with you both having
similar interest in playdough, on the bikes outside and playing happy family in class. We
often find the pair of you engaged in these activities together and sharing ideas to help each
other.
Having made this connection particularly with Sana, the pair of you go exploring various
activities calling out to each other when you want to move off into different curriculum areas.
It is great to see how happy, confident and relaxed you have now become, Sofia. It is great to
see you having lots of fun in your games with your new friends, hearing your voice and
laughter.
Sofia, you are learning about new peer relationships. You are learning social skills when
you are able to think creatively giving instructions and sharing ideas. You are learning
to become more socially competent and confident to interact with others and participare
in small group games to learn new skills and knowledge. You are learning to trust new
relationships with people, places and things.
Sofia, we will support you as your peer relationships develop and you learn to express
and share your ideas with your peers. I am sure you have more ideas to share with your
friends as you participate in small group activities together learning new skills and
knowledge.
