Term 2

This term our topic for PSHE is Valuing Difference 

This week we discussed listening and how this is important. Sometimes we hear what people say but don't really listen to the to them, so we don't really understand. We discussed that problems can arise if people don't listen; it can lead to fallouts with friends. In small groups we role played 6 different scenarios where good listening and negotiation skills were needed to solve a problem. 

.

We talked about examples of kindness and unkindness. Then we listened to a story called An Act of Kindness. We discussed different kind things we can say to someone, as well as kind tings we can do. 

This week we learned that the way we react to something can make a situation better or worse.  It’s possible to react in a calm way when someone is being a bit aggressive. Sometimes it can help there to be a good outcome for everyone.  In groups, we rehearsed and performed a role play about this.

Term 1

This term our topic for PSHE is Me and My Relationships

We have been learning about the difference between teasing and bullying and what it means to be a good friend. 

This week we acted in out different emotions in the game charades. We then wrote down way we could help a friend who felt this way. 

How can we help a friend who is sad?

How can we help a friend who is feeling silly?

How can we help a friend who is feeling scared?

How can we help a friend who is feeling unwell?

This week we thought about the things that good friends do most of the time. We wrote our ideas on leaves and made a friendship tree in our classroom as a reminder about how we should treat our friends. 

To begin the term we suggested ways we can make out classroom a positive place to be.
