Year 1 – PSHE

Year 1 – PSHE (Relationships)

In PSHE this half term, year 1 have spent some time learning about different relationships. We began by discussing the people that are important to us, and how we can show that we care for them. We talked about our families, and how some families may be similar, but every family is different in their own ways. We also took part in different activities to help us understand what it means to be a good friend, and what we can do to solve problems that sometimes occur within friendships. We put our acting skills to the test by acting out different scenarios, and explored different ways of mediating challenging situations.

When focusing on what it means to be a good friend, we discussed in detail the importance of being kind and respectful to others, even if we don’t always agree with them. We spoke about the sense of belonging in a friendship, and how this makes us feel. We also explored different ways of greeting people, and understand that the way we might greet a friend is different to meeting someone for the first time. We used our acting skills again to come up with different ways of greeting friends, and some of us even came up with secret handshakes!
