As part of our Living and Learning: Identity theme, Year 6 have thought about what it means to be a sheep.
We discussed when we might act ‘sheepish’ and the children were really honest with their behaviour creating a rich and useful discussion around this subject.
We decided that you needed to have courage and be resilient in order to not act ‘sheepish’ and mind mapped ideas for what we could do in those situation where we’re not necessarily making decisions for ourselves.
Ask your child whether they think they act like a sheep sometimes, whether they wish they didn’t and what they could do to be more independent in those situations.
