Value of the Month- Friendship- December

As part of our Religious and Moral Education values programme we are wishing to engage parents in discussing this value at home with your children and family to deepen their understanding of the importance of the value and what it can mean to us as individuals.

We are sharing some starter questions and prompts for families to help with this discussion.

Please find below some examples of discussion questions for you to use at home, these are not exhaustive nor do they need to be discussed in order and please feel free to add others of your own.

If you wish you can record this in your child’s homework jotter  through notes or drawing or  if a parent could write ‘ Ask me about our family discussion on Excellence ‘ in your child’s HW  jotter. Some stages have included this in their home learning grids and recording that this has happened can be indicated on the sheet and on the back of the sheet.

DECEMBER- Our value of the month is FRIENDSHIP.

What do you think makes someone a good friend? Why?

Who are your friends?

Who do you think is a good friend?

What is it about that person that makes him/her a good friend?

What do you like to do with your friends?

How do you feel when you are with your friends?

Draw a picture of your friends and or things you like to do with your friends?

Thank you

Weekly sensory spelling activities  

Information for parents

  1. Each week choose at least 1 activity (you may do more if you wish) to complete.
  2. On completion in child’s spelling jotter note the name of the activity/activities that you completed with your child.
  3. If you wish to make a comment either about how well your child completed this activity or if they enjoyed this activity please also add this.
  4. If you wish you can paste in or attach examples if possible * many of these activities you will not be able to do this as they are a bit impractical to record or just messy!
  5. If you wish you can take a photograph of this activity and paste into your child’s spelling jotter.
  6. Spelling homework is issued on Monday and we ask that you please return on Friday.

Remember it is the experience of learning for your children that is important and not the recording of it. However always delighted to see any examples and photographs 🙂
