PSHE

L.O.  To discuss the feeling of fairness

Starter

In our PSHE lessons we have been focusing on our feelings, using the zones of regulation. We have looked at using the zones of regulation colours to help us to identify how we are feeling and strategies that we can use to help us.

 

Watch the story ‘Its not fair!’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6U68VUis8Q

 

Activity

Read through the scenarios with your child and discuss whether they think the situation is fair. Why do they think that? Is there a time when they thought something was not fair?

Explain that even as adults there are times when we feel it is not fair. It is something we have to learn how to deal with/react appropriately to. How should we react – get angry/red zone?

It’s ok to be angry, but it how we react that is important.

 

We need to take a deep breath, count to 10. Talk calmly to an adult or someone who can help us understand the situation. Sometimes we have to think about others needs and feelings rather than our own. Look at the anger strategies poster together.
