This week we have been looking at rules and why we need them.

We discussed that ‘rules keep us safe and make sure that everyone is treated fairly’.

The children knew that school, family and sports clubs often have the same rules.

Tilly told us that “don’t hurt anyone, have kind hands”, is a school rule, but we all agreed that this is also a family and a sports club rule.

We then listened to the story of Moses and how God gave him the 10 Commandments. The commandments were the rules for all people to follow and live a good life by.

When we looked at the 10 commandments, the children could understand their importance in life today, even though they were from the Bible that was written a long, long time ago.

Year 1 then designed a poster of a rule which was most important to them. We decided that ‘be kind’ and ‘always try your best’ were the most important rules to follow.
