Changing me

Shared ‘The jigsaw charter’ with the children to reinforce how we work together.

Calm me

At the beginning of every jigsaw lesson we help our minds calm down so that we are ready to learn.

children siting in a circle, Jigsaw jack holds up a picture of me as a baby. Children then had to help Jigsaw jack to work out who this is? Why is it so difficult to tell? I then invited a child to carefully choose a baby photo from the box.  I ask the children to to help Jigsaw Jack to work out who is in the photo, whose baby photo is this? How do we know? Is it difficult to work out?

In pairs, children talk about the ways they can think of that they have changed since they were babies. Shared round the circle the ideas they have come up with.
