The children in Year Two, have  been learning about how to stay safe on bonfire night.

This week, during PSHE, the children looked at difference and living together. They were able to discuss, in groups, the work carried out by Nelson Mandela and how he dreamed of a rainbow nation. Together, the children answered questions, which helped them to think about how we live as a community and the importance of  being tolerant and understanding of others.

Article 30: Every child has the right to learn and use the language, customs and religion of their family, regardless of whether these are shared by the majority of the people in the country where they live.

During PSHE, this week, the children looked at the importance of helping others around the world. We discussed different charities and the work UNICEF does in encouraging other countries to be apart of the Children’s Rights Convention.

Article 42: Governments should make the Convention known to children and adults. The Convention has 54 articles in total. Articles 43–54 are about how adults and governments work together to make sure that all children get all their rights.

This week, during PSHE the children looked at how we live and work together. They were able to think of how and why it is important to be understanding of others. Working in groups, the children discussed the meaning of a faith and how there are many different faiths in the school, community, country and world.

During PSHE, this week, the children looked at different types of relationships.

Article 15: Every child has the right to meet with other children and to join groups and organisations, as long as this does not stop other people from enjoying their rights.

The children were able to identify positive relationships and qualities they look for in a friend. Working together, the children discussed the meaning of a gang or group. We highlighted that some groups help us to showcase our talents and build on our skills. As a class, we found out that some of us attend dance groups, football clubs, karate clubs and many others.

The children also discussed the negative behaviour of some gangs and groups and how this stops other people enjoying their rights.

What is a friend? Was the question Year 6 answered during PSHE, this week.

The children, in groups, discussed whether we want a friend to be similar or different to ourselves. The children then looked at the triangle of need and identified that, having friends, is one of our basic needs.

We then discussed how having friends and spending time with them should not impact on our right to be safe. The children then thought about the question, ‘ Can our friends sometimes put our safety at risk?’ By the end of the lesson, all the children were able to, confidently, complete their Dot Com learning journal.

The children in Year Two were learning about people who help us and how they can help us.

They looked at different pictures and used them to help prompt sentences about how different people help us as part of their job.  The children discussed the different jobs and asked some good questions.

In Year One today the children have been learning about people who help us and how they help us.

They did this with the help of pictures cutting them out and matching them to their job.  They then had to write a sentence about how the different people help them.

The children in year two were asked to identify safe places to play. They was then asked to identify unsafe places to play in their local area and explain why they would be at risk playing in these areas.

Today, in year one, we were talking about feelings . We talked about how we can tell how someone is feeling by their facial expression. In talk partners, the children had to guess how the other person was feeling. They then had to draw their face and write a sentence on how they were feeling today.
