Changing me – looking ahead

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.

Two visiting children frim year 4 came into the classroom and joined our circle. I explained to the children that the two year 4 children have come to talk to them about what it might be like to be in year 4 and to tell the children some of the changes that happened to them whist they were in year 4 (e.g learning to swim, being able to read a higher level, making a different friend, growing taller etc.) the children shared the changes that happened to them and then gave time for questions from the children to the two visitors.

I then asked the children in year 3 how things to think about what changes they think might happen to them when they are in year 4.  Then I asked the year 4 children to share how they coped with any changes. Did hey notice them? How did they feel?
