In Year 1, we have been thinking about how each and every one of us is special. We all like different foods, celebrate different religions, live in different places, have different hobbies and yet, in lots of ways, we are all the same.
The children have thought about identities.
Who are you?
We had such a lovely time creating paintings of ourselves. Take a look at our gallery below.
Along with this, we have also thought about the communities that we live in and learnt about similarities and differences within them.
What is respect?
“What is respect” is a big concept to grasp.
Respect is how you feel about someone or something.
Having respect for someone means you think good things about who a person is or how he/she acts. You can have respect for others, and you can have respect for yourself.
Respect is how you treat someone or something.
Showing respect to someone means you act in a way that shows you care about their feelings and well-being.
Showing respect for others include things like not calling people mean names, treating people with courtesy and showing good manners.
Learning how to show respect is so very important. We have thought about respecting ourselves and others. The children also discussed that we should show respect to our community, animals, people and belongings.
Whilst I have been working in Year 1, I have seen the children showing respect to each other. They are proud of their classroom and the school as a whole.
Well done!
