Lots of children said they had dropped things and they had broken them. Alice said she had dropped a glass and it had shattered and there wasn’t anyway it could be fixed. Demi said her Mum had piled things up on her to hold onto and she dropped it all as there was too much to hold. Jacob recalled dropping a china bowl at his Nanny’s as his hands were hot and sticky. Zeb said there was a mug on the stairs and he knocked it off and it smashed at the bottom of the stairs. Eva said that she had a doll and its head had come off it. Her dad had been able to mend it. We talked about the fact that sometimes things can be mended and other times not.
The children had great ideas for mending the puncture, the sock, the cut finger, the ripped page and the broken plate and all had stories to tell of how things can be fixed!
Lily recalled being unkind to Alice and she had to say sorry to her. Alice forgave her and the two gave each other a hug to make up. All the children agreed that saying sorry was really important to put things right.
In the story Omar and Freddie fell out as each one broke their friend’s toys. The Dads mended them. In the end the children told me it was the Dads that helped them realise that the boys friendship was the most important thing not the toys!
In year 2 William talked about how promises are easily broken. He made it up by washing the dishes for his parents for a whole month. Isla accidently broke a toy car at a friends house, she made a promise to buy her a new one. Sophie accidently knocked over her mums favourite mug and broke it, she made it up by emptying the dishwasher. Elodie accidentally knocked over her aunts vase, but she bought her a new one to make it up to her.
Omar and Freddie fell out because Omar damaged Freddie’s airplane and Freddie damaged Omar’s ball. Omar’s dad spoke to Omar about forgiving one another.
The boys realised that friendship was more important than their toys.
Year 4 weren’t in the assembly this week as we were on our way to the Cricket Festival but we have enjoyed talking about NASA’s latest discoveries and projects. We have heavily debated whether or not we this aliens are real.
Emma: ‘I think aliens are real because there are so many different galaxies’
Millie: ‘There’s loads of things in space we haven’t discovered yet and plenty of recorded sightings of UFOs
Lily: ‘There may be plenty of fish-like species really deep down in oceans’
Kya: ‘I don’t think aliens exist because people would have discovered them by now’
We think that with all the money being pumped into project by billionaires, we’re bound to find something soon. We discussed the fact that deep down in the oceans, some animals don’t need sunlight to exist and lots of new animals have been discovered over time – some that look like aliens! We therefore think that deep down in other planets, animals which can survive without sunlight exist.
A lot of children in Y6 have needed to forgive a friend. Here are examples of how they made things better:
-Saying sorry.
-Spending time with them to re-build the friendship.
-Talking about it and make it better.
-Trying to forget about it.
-Making an effort to be kind to them.
-Try your hardest to not do it to another friend.
Challenge – Extra-terrestrial
We do believe that NASA are on the verge of discovery and we were really excited about the new planets that have been discovered.
In Foundation we sometimes need support to negotiate and resolve disagreements with our friends, but after we have said sorry we move on and try to play kindly.
The children told lots of stories about things getting broken as well as some interesting ways that they got fixed!
Toby helped his sister when he broke one of her toys.
Freddie told us that when Mummy’s car was broken he fixed it with sticky glue.
Riley told us about the time when his brother broke one of his birthday presesnts and they fixed it together.
Sophie said she broke her Mummy’s rose ornament but it couldn’t be fixed. Sophie said that she was very sorry.
The children talked about experiences they had when they had broken something and what happened next. Year 3 said that these were the emotions they felt: nervous, angry, stressed, cross and worried. We talked about all these feeling and how we could feel better. We shared that sometimes we can say words we don’t really mean and we need to remember that we should always be respectful to everyone.
We talked about friendships and how when we fall out with our friends we say ‘I’m not your friend’ The children said that they realise that it doesn’t mean they are not friends but it was just a way of saying I’m upset at the moment. We talked about how to resolve conflict and realise that it is important to mend friendships and not break them.
