In year 6 we discussed our own early warning signs and when we get them. What are our emotional and physical feelings? and what feeling safe feels like, so when we don’t feel safe our bodies tell us by giving us physical early warning signs like Dot’s butterflies in her stomach.
Year 3 – How to stay safe
This week in Year 3 the children have looked at how to keep themselves safe. Children had to look at their helping hand and were reminded who they can talk to if they are worried or concerned. To help the children remember who they could talk to they completed the relevant pages from their Dot Com journals.
Year 6 – Separation
In Year 6 we talked about how to deal with separation. We discussed what might happen if a family becomes divided, how might members of the family feel about this? We also looked at who they can talk to in this situation completing their journals as we went along.
Year 1 – Friends
In Year 1 today the children had to think about friends and why they are important – we discussed that friends have different qualities and I gave examples from own experiences. The children were able to talk about their abilities and what they felt proud of.
Year 2 – Abilities and Interests
In Year 2 today we talked about Rory and Jasmine’s abilities and interests. Children had to tell the class what they are learning to do and what they are good at. Children discussed their abilities and interests.
Year 3 – Feelings
In today’s lesson the children were given feeling cards and they had to describe how the children on the cards were feeling and why they may be feeling like that.
Afterwards we talked about how the children could keep themselves safe and together we read Dot’s story on safety. We all discussed how we should keep ourselves safe at all times and the children completed the pages from their journal to reflect this.
Year 6 – Weapons
Today in Tear 6 we talked about weapons. We explored and discussed the way weapons are portrayed in films and on TV. We spoke about how this is not a true reflection of reality.
The children completed the relevant pages in their journals on weapons and discussed what the risks of carrying a weapon are.
Year 4 – Fear
We started our PHSE lesson with circle time this afternoon. Together we discussed fear and the effects it has on their own and other people’s behaviour.
Next we read the story ‘being alone’ and I asked the children varying questions. We had a lot of discussion time and children worked well.
Year 5 – Influence
In today’s lesson we discussed what is meant by the word ‘influence’ and the children looked at who and what influences them i.e. parents, adverts, friends.
After class discussions the children had to write a definition of the word influence and about some of the things that influence them.
