We learn about ourselves and others by developing our personal, social and emotional skills:

• At circle time we spend time together talking about our feelings and emotions
• We risk assess activities that we would like to explore. Practitioners ask “how could we do that safely?”
• As we play we practice taking turns and playing in groups
• We have an ever-growing understanding of our own emotions and begin to  attribute feelings to emotions
• Our personal preferences become more defined and we make choices for ourselves and also begin to understand that our preferred activities might not be the same as others
• We make rules together and adapt them if needed as we move through the academic year
• We gain confidence in sharing experiences with a wider group of people
• Practitioners support us in exploring different ways of resolving conflicts with others
