Talk Homework

As part of our RE and Personal, Social and Well being development we will be talking about family and friends the pupils regard as special and why.
In class the pupils will create a compliment blossom tree where they write about why they consider a particular friend to be special to them.

I would like the children to discuss with you first, a particular family member who is special to them and give reasons why. They then may wish to talk about their closest friend in class and again consider why they are special to them.

Encourage your child to think carefully about the words they use to describe their special family member or friend e.g. thoughtful, brave, caring, loving, trust worthy etc. We call these 'wow words'.

During the week, the children will create their own blossom flower for the tree, where other children in the class can write positive comments about them on the petals.
