Year 2 have completed their first Jigsaw piece in PSHE –  “Being Me In My World”.

Our curricular goal was to be able to explain why our behaviour can impact on other people in the class.

Our Jigsaw lessons are a safe learning environment, and we have some ‘ground rules’, that are included in our ‘Jigsaw Charter’ which we read together at the start of each lesson.

These include:-

The right to pass

Respect for each other

Confidentiality

During this term we have:-

• Identified some of our hopes and fears for this year.
• Began to understand rights and responsibilities for being a member of our class and school.
• Being able to listen to other people and contribute our own ideas about rewards and consequences.
• Understanding how following the Learning Charter will help us all learn.
• Recognising the choices we make and understand the consequences.

Each week the children have shown a growing understanding of how all these things impact on enabling us to feel happy, safe and able to learn.

They have all been confident to share their thoughts and feelings when we pass around Jigsaw Joe around the class for discussions.

During ‘calm me’ the children have enjoyed the time to calm their minds and bodies, some children have become amazing at this and are appreciative of this time.
