Activities are designed to spark curiosity, encourage discussion and make learning memorable.
This three-lesson ESR scheme of work helps your class identify different ways we can be kind to one another and the effects that this kindness has on other people and ourselves.
Children will think about the difference between a kind and an unkind action and how this affects our moods and overall happiness. They then move on to put their ideas into action as they become secret friends for one another before finally discussing how their kind actions could be used in the wider community of their school and local area.
With lesson plans, slides for the teaching input, differentiated activities and a range of printable resources, this ‘Being Kind to You and Me’ scheme will encourage discussion within your class and encourage the children to become more aware of their actions and how they affect themselves and others.
