Achievement

As part of our health and wellbeing focused learning we are going to look at what achievement means and how we can actively encourage achievement at home.  We encourage the children within the ECC to be aware of what their targets are and acknowledge when they have achieved these.  Children can set their own targets at home too alongside parents/carers to identify what they want to achieve and ways that they can do this.  Firstly I would love some help designing our very own superhero character to support us through our learning.  Below I have a template of 2 superheroes could you choose one to design and give them a name beginning with the letter A?, for example;  Achieving… Andy, April etc.   Don’t worry if you can’t print these templates you could also draw your very own template. We will choose a winner next week,  who will be our new character?!  You can send your superhero to

I have found a lovely story about a little alien called Zid who is very determined to achieve something that he has his heart set on ♥

Parents/carers, here are some questions you can ask to encourage recall skills, hope everyone has had their listening ears on.

•   What does Zid want to make?
•   Who helps Zid?
•  What happens when Zid first shows the dress to Yoff and Mab?
•   What do you like to make?
•   Do you think it was easy for Zid to make dress?
•   Why do you think Zid makes dresses for is friends too?
•   How do you think Zid feels when he achieves making his own dresses?

I would love now for everyone to think of something that they would like to achieve at home.  It could be anything from learning how to make your own bed everyday, going a daily walk with a step target, helping prepare your own meal or snack or even reading a certain amount of stories each day.  I would love to hear what everyone wants to achieve and how they are going to do this.  I’d love to hear what everyone is up to, send me along your photographs and comments.
