Circle of Smiles and Support - KS1

Year 2 have been learning about family and friendships, including what makes a good friend and the different ways people can meet and build friendships. They explored the causes of disagreements and how to resolve them positively. Children also learned how to recognise feelings of loneliness or unhappiness and understand when and how to ask for help for themselves or to support others.

Discipline and Kindness - LKS1

To further develop Year 4 understanding of the importance of self-discipline, kindness and respect for themselves and others.

It highlighted the importance of respecting differences and similarities between people.

Peer Power Positivity - UKS2

Year 5 pupils have been learning about family and friendships, including how peer influence can affect the way people think, feel and behave. They explored the impact of wanting peer approval in different situations, including online and discussed how friendships can naturally change over time. Pupils also learned to recognise when a friendship may be making them feel unsafe, worried or uncomfortable, and understand the importance of seeking support when needed.
