Introduction
Explain to the children that we want our classroom to be a happy, safe and fair place to work and play together. Write a set of class rules with the class (JP to take photographs of the children following the class rules, to be put on display nest to the words)
Task
SEAL p.7 Discuss with the children how we could ensure that our classroom is the dream classroom – in groups the children discuss
1.What the classroom would look like
2.What would be inside the classroom
3. What would we see when the children were working in the classroom.
4. What would the adult say.
5. What will the children say. (feedback ideas to the class)
Children draw individual pictures of their dream classroom.
Plenary
Discuss any immediate changes that we can make in our classroom to make it more like our dream classroom.
Introduction
Introduce the class puppet and explain that he is a feeling puppet and he will help them to talk about their feelings. Show the children the feelings poster, split into 4 different section. Discuss a range of emotions and sort the feelings into the following categories: happy, sad, scared, and excited.
Task
Give the children a range of scenarios and ask them to decide which emotion the puppet would be feeling and put him into the corresponding hoop. Children use the emotional barometers to help them to identify how the feelings puppet is feeling.
Plenary
Look at feelings detective poster.
Finish with a prayer from Patrick Sayles (The Prayer Trust)
No matter how hard life treats me, no matter how my friends behave,
No matter how I am feeling, you make it right, Lord.
No matter how worried I am, no matter how tough it all seems,
No matter how heavy the days, you make it right, Lord. Thank you.
EVALUATION
OF THE

Babies
Introduction
Share the Espresso film of baby Amelia, a premature baby who was born at 21 weeks. Children discuss how baby Amelia has survived and share ideas for what things baby Amelia might need to have done for her.
Task
Explain to the children that the birth of a baby is a very special time and we celebrate this in many ways: One way is to thank God and to welcome the baby into the family of God through Baptism (this will be explored further in the R.E. lesson this week)
Plenary
Activity to be carried out in the playground.
Half the class imagine they are babies (just like baby Amelia)
Half the class are themselves.
One side of the playground is YES, they other side of the playground is
NO. The children have to move to the correct side of the playground depending on their answer to the question:
I can dress myself, I can cry, I can walk, I can crawl, I can laugh, I can eat, I can feed myself, I can drink, I can drink out of a cup etc.
Swap over and then discuss some how the children have changed as they have got older.
Introduction

The children explored the ritual of
Baptism and the symbols used during this ceremony through their
R.E. topic.
Using the laminated speech bubbles really helped the children to develop their empathy with the characters and think about how they were feeling in different family situations.
