Reception caring relationships

Date: 3rd Feb 2026 @ 3:00pm

As part of RSE week we have been learning about the importance of friendships and how to be a good friend.  We read a story about Ezza the elephant on his first day of school.  We discussed the different emotions that he might have been feeling.

"He might be scared" Theo

"He might be nervous- I was nervous on my first day at Boundary" Leena.

We discussed how Heckle the Hippo was a good friend by noticing Ezza being sad and asking him to join in with the game.  We then explored a range of scernios and discuss what we could do to be a good friend.  We also discussed how sometimes people fall out but why it is important to apologise and forgive.

We also been exploring the differences and similarities between different families.  We talked about how all families might look different but they all have people who look after us, care for us and love us.
