This term in Living and Learning we have been focussed on mental wellbeing. We have discussed different emotions and how they make us feel and act. We have also talked about friends and family as well as being positive with ourselves and others.
One lesson we particularly enjoyed was all about solving problems. First we watched a video where some animals were not showing good teamwork whilst crossing a bridge. Then, we came up with our own ideas for what you have to do to work well in a team.
After that, we put our learning into practice. We created our own narrow bridge outside and two teams had to cross it at the same time. The children were very inventive with their ideas and learnt that they had to listen and talk in order to solve the problem. Well done Year 1!
Help at home by talking to your child about how they can work as a team to solve problems.
