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.

We sang the song : changing as I grow.

We looked at the PowerPoint pictures of a baby, toddler, teenager, adult to elderly person. In talking partners children had to describe two changes they can visibly see happen to an  elderly person. We all shared ideas. Drawed out from the children how our bodies might change and asked them to think about what other changes might happen, e.g bodies become slower, old people run less but might get wiser and kinder.

Made a point that change is a natural process as we get older and we have no control over it.
