In Ducklings Class we thought about democracy and rule of law. We voted on resources and collaborated on how we should work together to use, share and look after our new outdoor bikes and trikes. We linked this to how people run the country and make decisions that are agreed upon by the majority.
Swallows class have been thinking about how to show respect. We explored what happens when we don't always have the same opinion as others or want to do the same things, and discussed the best words and actions to use in these situations to show we respect other people's views and ideas.
