This Spring term we have focussed on

• Understand that people have choices about what they do with their money
• Discussed and recorded strategies for getting on with others in the classroom.
• Identified different strategies for dealing with impulsive behaviour.

We have been discussing that people have choices about what they do with their money

The children discussed whether they would spend five pounds on a small toy/item or save for a larger toy even though that may take a much longer time.

We described and recorded strategies for getting on with others in the classroom.

We discussed the school rules and how those rules help to keep everybody safe. We talked about what is fair and unfair, kind and unkind. We suggested ways that we can show kindness to others and that people's bodies and feelings can be hurt.

The children discussed the different strategies we can use for dealing with impulsive behaviour.

We talked about the occasions when we feel like erupting and that sometimes it does feel as though words or thoughts are trying to ‘erupt’ from our mouths but we have a choice about this. We can take control.
