Yesterday in Year 3 we begin our lesson by looking at the ‘Jigsaw Charter’ and to reinforce how we work together.

Next we played ‘Switch’. The aim of this game is to gain awareness of the similarities and differences between each other.

After this we all took part in a ‘Calm Me’ activity the aim of which is to help the children’s minds calm down so that they are ready to learn.

For the main part of the lesson we placed a treasure box in the middle of the circle and I asked the children to write down their achievements on a gold coin (in secret) and then place it in the box. The group then had to guess who each achievement belonged to.
