Everyone, including the adults took part the Calm me activity to help make sure we’re ready to learn.
The children then listed the good/positive about things that are the same and what is good/positive about the things that are different. The children were encouraged to see difference as something to celebrate.
For Open my mind, pictures of the royal family are placed on the white board and then we asked who are they? How are they connected? Then we looked at photos of other families which showed single parents, mixed race, etc to show how families are all different.

The children then read through stem sentences in their Jigsaw Journals and wrote spontaneous answers to each question.
We then took part in Tell me or show me. The children worked through a picture resource sheet.
Once the children had enough time to answer the questions, the teacher then displayed a set of pictures. Whichever group had the same pictures, had to share their answers.

The children worked through their culture wheel and then compared their wheel with the other wheels in the class. This helped them to understand what cultural differences and similarities they shared.
For ‘Tell Me or Show Me’, the class was divided into 6 groups. Each were given a blank culture wheel and a picture of a child. They then completed the culture wheel as if they were the child in the picture. Every group shared their wheel and were then told that all the children in the picture lived in the UK and were British citizens.

Last week on Thursday in Year 1 we started with the Calm Me exercise to prepare ourselves to learn.
Then in pairs, the children took turns to read their ticket to their partner and say how they feel. Do they feel proud, pleased, happy?
They then made a list of three rewards they would like to receive when they’ve achieved something of which they are proud. These ideas will then help to create the Learning Charter.

Yesterday we started our jigsaw lesson with the Calm Me exercise to prepare ourselves to learn.
In small groups the children were given a blank learning charter template and asked to teach a consensus on what should be on it. They filed in the rights, responsibilities, rewards, and consequences that would be most meaningful to them.
The children then returned to the circle and shared their ideas. The teacher then enabled the class to come up with one learning charter and they competed a template for this. This template will then be passed onto the school council as our class contribution towards the new learning charter.
