Behaviour Display

Our first week in school has been exciting and we wanted all the children to feel safe and happy within their learning environments. We started our PSED sessions by exploring our boundaries and discussing the behaviour expectations we have within our setting.
All the children learnt the ground rules, linking to our behaviour system across the entire school. We explained that we follow these rules to keep us all safe and happy while attending school.
The children were amazing at sharing their own ideas of how to keep each other safe. We have created a display to help remind us each day and help reinforce positive behaviour.

I am Special

We have been focusing on the ‘all about me’ aspect of Personal, Social and Emotional Development. We have encouraged the children to talk to others about how we are all different and how this makes us special and unique.
As a class, we shared all the different and amazing things that we can do. The children described themselves in positive terms and talked about their own abilities. This has really help us to learn all about our new friends.

During PSED sessions, we have been exploring our feelings and emotions.

We started this theme by linking colours to different emotions such as pink for feeling loved and yellow for feeling happy.

We have used the amazing book ‘The huge bag of worries’ where children explored this emotion. They looked at different facial expressions and gestures to explain to other people how we are feeling.

The children discussed what made them feel worried and shared ways to make us feel better, such as speak to an adult or friend. The children recognised how important it is to talk to adults who we trust and who can help us feel better such as parents, family members and teachers.

We highlighted to all children that there is no such thing as a bad feeling ‘FEELINGS ARE FEELINGS, NOT GOOD, NOT BAD, RIGHT OR WRONG’.

This week our topic was ‘Bullying’ We used the brilliant story ‘The Little Bully ‘ by Adam and Charlotte Guillain to introduce the types of behaviour which we relate to bullying. We discussed with our talking partners about what we thought bullying was and if we had felt that we had been bullied before. All the children showed super understanding that people can make mistakes within their behaviour and actions, however, bullying is when someone continues to demonstrate this unacceptable behaviour towards others. We went on to design posters to promote a greater awareness of Bullying within our learning environments.
