This term, in PSHE, Year 1 are learning about ‘Living In The Wider World. For their first session we looked at what it means to be a good listener and why it is important to listen to others. The children played the game ‘Simon Said’, although they found this hard at the beginning they were soon able to listen to the instructions and have great fun at the same time.

To listen, show respect and value the voice of others.

Article 12: Every child has the right to express their views, feelings and wishes in all matters affecting them, and to have their views considered and taken seriously.

During the lesson we were visited by the school nurse, who discussed ‘Oral Hygiene’ with the children. The children met Lilly the dragon and were able to tell her what she would need to brush her very large teeth, how often she should clean them and get them checked and why it is important to keep her teeth clean and healthy.
