This week in Health and Wellbeing we have had a focus on celebrating our similarities and differences. We started off by having a discussion about what makes us special. Here are some of examples that the children contributed to the discussion.
Elkie – ‘I love my guinea pigs’.
Euan ‘I have been to Lego land’.
Erica ‘ I love underwater creatures’.
Belle ‘I love coming to school and learning’.
Next we teamed up with Primary 1 to play a game of ‘Switch’. We had to listen to a statement, for example, ‘I have a little brother’ and stand up if it applied to us. We then had to find a friend who was also standing to switch places with. It was lots of fun and made us realise we have lots of similarities with our friends.
We then played a game of spot the difference. We examined 2 pictures and had to explain what was different and what was the same in each. It was harder than it looked!
In the last activity we had to work with a partner and find three similarities between us and draw them onto a picture. Most of us noticed that we were all wearing a similar uniform and some of us even had the same hair colour.
We are looking forward to what next week’s Health and Wellbeing lesson will involve!
