Last week we started the session by looking at ‘The jigsaw charter’ 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.
With all the children seated in a circle, started off by saying, “I’m… and someone in my family is my…” ( mum, sister, brother, Dad etc.) asked the children in turns round the circle to follow.
We then shared with the children: The family book by Todd Parr. Reinforced the children that there are all sorts of different families and that that is okay. Asked the children who is in your family?
Children had to draw and label a picture of their family.
