Jigsaw Jenie, by Mrs Hothersall
Date: 6th Oct 2017 @ 10:00pm
As part of our PSHE curriculum we have a friend called Jigsaw Jenie he stays in our class and helps us to follow the class rules. This week we have been thinking about gentle hands. We read a story called hands are not for hitting. We then thought about how hands can be kind and gentle. We waved hello and goodbye, we shook hands, we held hands to keep safe when crossing the road and we thought of much more....we decided that we would not hit or push as a class and if someone did something we didn't like in school we would say "please don't do that we don't like it."
