Dakota

When did you start as St Andrew’s?

I started in the Nursery, I felt a little bit small and the building and my teachers seemed really big.

What is your earliest memory?

I remember snuggling up on the cushions for a little nap in Nursery after a really busy morning playing and I remember our fun splash lessons in the swimming pool. We started our lesson by seeing who could jump to the other side of the pool. I could jump across the two black lanes. In Reception I remember the beautiful fairy garden and we loved playing in our outdoor classroom.

What do you look forward to each day?

I look forward to seeing my teachers and my friends as well as swimming and art.

How have your friends played a part?

They help me by looking forward to coming to School to see them and playing games at break time. I like working in groups or partners with them in class. I have made such good friends that some of us go horse-riding after School together and have even done competitions together. Even after spending a day together at school we can face-time each other when we get home and carry on chatting.

What new skills have you developed?

I have learnt to read, write, paint and maths. Number work is my favorite. We look for patterns and switchers and play loop games and the cool cowboy number games.
