To start the lesson, this week, Codie shared a story with us. This helped the children to learn about showing respect to others and developed their listening skills.

The main focus of the lesson, this week, was similarities and differences. The children discussed the meaning of difference and whether this is a good or bad thing. The children, all agreed being different is good. They were able to talk, with confidence, about what made them different and also what similarities they shared, not only with their family, but with friends, teachers and people within their community.

Using their Dot Com journals, the children completed work on when being different can make them feel uncomfortable. Being the youngest, not being good a sport and being the only boy or girl in a group, were some of the situations the children came up with.
