This week in P.S.H.E: Me and my friends

Our focus this week has been all about "Me and My Friends," and we’ve had a lovely time exploring what makes us unique.

We started by sharing the story of Elmer the Elephant. The children really connected with the idea that Elmer looks different from the rest of the herd and enjoyed chatting about how being different is something to celebrate. It was great to hear them discussing their favourite colours with one another and finding out what they have in common with their peers.

Getting stuck into provision

The children had plenty of chances to get creative with the theme during their play:

  • Colouring: Lots of brilliant patchwork Elmers were brought to life using the children’s favourite colours.

  • Playdough: We saw some fantastic fine motor skills in action as the children sculpted their very own versions of Elmer.

It has been a brilliant week of building friendships and learning that our differences are what make our class such a vibrant place to be.
