Personal, Social, Emotional Development
Our SEAL topic is – Relationships. The theme is about exploring our feelings within important relationships such as family and friends. It aims to develop knowledge, understanding and skills in three key social and emotional aspects of learning: self-awareness, managing feelings and empathy. In addition there is a focus throughout on helping your child understand the feeling associated with loss whether of a favourite possession, a friend, a family home or a loved one. This week we hear the story about a boy who lost a favourite toy and the emotions he felt.
