FAIZA ADHAM LEENA SHAHZAIB

Child: Faiza Date: 12th March 2014 Written by: T. Natasha This morning we all went outside to enjoy the brief sunshine, during which I saw Leena reading a book on the cushions. As she continued to read I could see her becoming more engrossed in the book. Leena looked up, spotting her friend Adham and excitedly showed him the firefighter book she was reading. Adhams eyes lit up as he exclaimed FIRETRUCK, Leena responded quickly by jumping up and squealing, WEE-OH WEE-OH!! Together you ran around the playground, catching the interest of Faiza and Shahzaib. Shahzaib ran to the play house, quickly re-emerging to proudly show Adham, Leena and Faiza what he had found. As he held up the firefighter hat he had found, Leena and Adhams excitement grew and they both suggested how the firefighting team could progress. Adham exclaimed, I am driving, Im driving the firetruck! before calling out the sound of the siren as he climbed the fort to the steering wheel. Leena however called to Faiza Quick! The firetruck is waiting; we need to find the fire! Faiza then decided she wanted to help shahzaib put out the fires, and quickly they ran together to their imaginary fire by the swings saving their friend Ahmad! Review of learning We missed you over the summer break Faiza, and are pleased to see you return just as confident this year. You clearly and with precision articulated your curiosity in your friends play with confidence. You demonstrated playfulness and responsibility by using pro-social strategies to join play interpedently without adult assistance, well done! Where to next? I am impressed with your communication skills, and will begin exploring other ways to be expressive with you including drama and art. I will continue supporting your literacy skills, as you begin preparing for a transition to primary school later this year. Are there any stories of your culture you would like to reinact or share with your friends Faiza?
