Be increasingly able to talk about and manage their emotions. Notice and ask questions about differences, such as skin colour, types of hair, gender, special needs and disabilities, religion and so on.
RE/COLLECTIVE WORSHIP
LITERACY Enjoy drawing freely. Add some marks to their drawings, which they give meaning to. For example: “That says mummy.”
EYFS 10 Prayer What is prayer? Islam, Judaism, Hinduism
Make marks on their picture to stand for their name.
Develop friendships with other children. Safely explore emotions beyond their normal range through play and stories. Talk about their feelings in more elaborated ways: “I’m sad because…” or “I love it when …”.Learn to use the toilet with help, and then independently.

Understand frequently used words such as ‘all gone’, ‘no’ and ‘bye-bye’. Understand simple instructions like “give to nanny” or “stop”. Recognise and point to objects if asked about them.
Compare amounts, saying ‘lots’, ‘more’ or ‘same’ Develop counting-like behaviour, such as making sounds, pointing or saying some numbers in sequence. Count in everyday contexts, sometimes skipping numbers – ‘1-2-3-5’.
EXPRESSIVE ARTS AND DESIGN Explore paint, using fingers and other parts of their bodies as well as brushes and other tools. Express ideas and feelings through making marks, and sometimes give a meaning to the marks they make. Enjoy and take part in action songs, such as ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’. Start to develop pretend play, pretending that one object represents another. For example, a child holds a wooden block to her ear and pretends it’s a phone.
