Year 1 have been thinking about what the word belonging means.

We might belong to schools, families and groups, such and swimming, rugby or Rainbows.  We looked at the different symbols that represent these…some of us belong to different clubs, but we all belong to Christopher Pickering Primary School.

Thomas said “at football we all have the same Tigers badge because we belong to that club”.

We found out that belonging is “a feeling of safety, support, acceptance and inclusion at being a member of a group”.

All of the children agreed that belonging to a group made them feel special and happy.
