Celebrating my web of relationships

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 jigsaw song ‘Learning together’ and I asked the children while they were singing to think about the people that are special to them.

I showed the children the set of relationship circles with different headings in each circle. I put myself in the middle of the circle and explained that they are going to write some of the people with whom they have relationships in the circles, according to how close they are to these people and how important they are to them. Those they are close to will be near the middle and those they are not so close to will be towards the other circles.
