We started today’s jigsaw lesson with the Calm Me exercise to prepare ourselves to learn.

Then we sat in a circle and played a game called ‘Switch’. A statement was read out which applied to more than one child in the circle. Those children then switched places with each other amusing them to see what they have in common with each other.

The children then were shown two pictures that had similarities. This allowed the children to focus on what is the same rather than focusing on differences.

The let me learn section of the lesson involved the children sitting pairs and identifying 3 similarities with their partner. They then used Jigsaw Jack to share these in the circle.
