Yesterday in Year 4 we started our lesson by sharing and looking at the ‘Jigsaw Charter’ to reinforce and help them understand how we work together.

We played a bingo game – ‘Meet & Greet’.  This game helps the children become more aware of all the similarities and differences they have with their class friends.

Next we all took part in the ‘Calm Me’ activity to help the children’s minds calm down so that they were ready to learn.

During the main part of the lesson we completed an activity called ‘Open my mind’. This encourages the children to understand what it feels like to be included and excluded from a team/group and reinforces the need for everyone to be included and feel part of the class team.
