Kind Hands

This week we're turning our attention to the subject of kind hands.

We will be discussing the importance of being kind to our friends, taking turns and sharing. ( PSED ) We have already witnessed some lovely exchanges between the children, whether it be moving aside to let another child get out of the ballpit in soft play, or actively approaching and talking to another child to make friends.

To put these subjects into practice we will be playing games which  will  require waiting and taking turns. The children have already been displaying this as they pass our soft toy, Jenie Jigsaw, to each other at storytime. Whoever is holding it can share their thoughts, whilst the other children will listen.She is already a popular character, and more information about Jigsaw PSHE learning is to follow.

At snacktime, we'll be reinforcing the the importance of good manners, and discussing times when it's important to say "please" and " thank you. "

All of the children will be taking part in a handpainting activity to create a poster for display, with lots of messy fun!

The books we will be looking at and sharing this week are called "Be Gentle" and "Sharing A Shell."
