Lesson video

Hello everyone and welcome back to another RHE, lesson with me, Miss Plummer.

Today we're going to start a brand new unit called, forever friends.

And this is the first lesson called, who am I? In today's lesson, you're going to think about what kind of friend you are and I've got someone join me today.

Here's my special friend.

Does anyone know his name? That's right, he's called Olaf.

Why don't you go and get one of your special friends and bring them along with us.

Let's get started.

In today's lesson, you will need some paper, a pencil and some coloured pencils if you have them.

But don't worry if you don't.

Pause the video to go and get those things, come back soon.

We're going to begin each lesson in this unit by thinking about a friendship chain, how you can do something kind for one of your friends.

After that, you're going to think about what kind of friend you look for.

Then you're going to think about your actions and how every action impacts somebody, both positive and negative.

And finally, you're going to create a friendship flower.

Let's begin.

A friendship chain is a link between you and your friends.

You could do something kind for your friend and then they might do something kind for another friend.

And then we've created a link, a bond, something that makes everyone feel good.

Now my friend Olaf, he likes giving warm hugs.

What could you do for one of your friends? It doesn't need to cost any money.

It doesn't need to be big.

It could just be smiling, holding the door open.

Maybe even drawing them a picture.

Have to think of something that you could do for your friend, over the next couple of days.

Pause the video.

Now let's think about what kind of friend you look for.

Do you look for children who are kind? Do you look for children who share their toys? What kind of friends do you like? Let's have a look at my friends.

This is me and my friends.

And we've been friends for a long time.

It's important to do kind things for your friends, to show them that you care.

Now me and my friends don't look the same.

We don't always like the same things, but we're still friends because we care about each other.

One of my friends is really funny.

The other one is really caring.

And then my other friend he's really helpful.

So just because you don't look the same or act the same, it doesn't mean that you can't be friends.

You have to look for the qualities in people.

What qualities do you look for in a friend? In the box below, there are lots of different qualities that people have.

For example, if you look at the pink boxes, they say kind, share their things and polite.

These are really important things to look for in a friend, aren't they.

So they've got four points.

Other things, like being moody, being mean to others and not listening to others, they're not very good qualities, are they? Do you want a friend that's moody you all the time? No way.

So they're only worth one point.

Look at the table and decide what kind of friend you would like and add up your points.

Come back soon.

Have a look at this picture of the children playing in the garden.

They decided they would use an old cardboard box to make a hot air balloon.

Three of the children got in the box and then they said that there was no more space.

So poor Lucy couldn't fit in the box.

How do you think the children have made Lucy feel? How do you think the children have made Lucy feel? On the screen there are four options.

Option one, Lucy feels isolated because she was left out.

Option two, Lucy feels happy because she can play on her own.

Option three, Lucy feels upset because she wanted to play.

Option four, Lucy feels included.

Pause the video and choose an option.

Well done, so some of you have said Lucy feels isolated because she was left out and that's right.

Lucy might feel isolated because all the other children have gotten in the box.

And if you look carefully, there is room for her.

She could have fit in there.

Some of you said, option three.

Lucy feels upset because she wanted to play.

And you're right too.

Lucy might be feeling upset because she wanted to play in the hot air balloon.

Well done everyone.

Did you know that your actions have an impact.

Could be positive or negative.

If you smile at somebody, then that might make that day better.

If you frown at them, then that won't make them feel very good.

You have to think about how you act because other people are watching and it might affect other people.

Do you want to make other people feel good and happy or do you want to make other people feel sad and miserable? Think about it.

Whatever you do, has an impact on somebody else.

Your task today is to create a friendship flower.

First, draw a flower with lots of big petals just like mine.

Pause the video to do that now.

Wow, that looks amazing so far, well done.

Next, inside each petal, you're going to write what kind of friend you would like.

The qualities that you look for in a person.

So I've written honest, caring and polite.

Pause the video and write your qualities in each petal.

Fantastic, I love it.

Now you can decorate your picture.

You could add some photographs or pictures of you and your friends, just like I've done.

You've been amazing today.
