Changing me

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.

Carrying on from last week we read the story ‘moving house’ and discussed the key points, especially the feelings of the people involved.  Talked through the process the family would have gone through before, during and after moving house. Explained the five steps of the circle of change, I.e. thinking about,deciding, preparing, taking action and keeping it going.

As a class asked children to brainstorm changes that have happened to the children already. We talked about a few and went through the change using the circle of change template, each child made their own circle of change usin a split pin and arrow. Asked the children to think about the change they would like to make when they are in year 5 and to think this through using the circle of change.
