This week’s Living and Learning statement in KS1 is ‘I can learn about my own identity and what makes me unique’.
We started the session off by playing a game whereby every child rolled a ball to somebody else in the class and said something nice about them. After this, we had a reflection about how it made us feel. We then had some time to reflect upon what we like about ourselves (our school’s Living and Learning statement this week).
We then played a game. The teacher read out a statement and the children moved to the left or right hand side of the room depending on if it described them or not. Some of the statements were –
- I have glasses.
- I have black hair.
- I have freckles.
- I like martial arts.
The children recognised that they are all different. This does not only mean how we look, but how we feel, our families, our hobbies and more.
