Understanding Me Dear Parents and Teachers, Depending on students’ level of reading skills, you may have to assist them by explaining what’s involved in the lessons. There are no rights or wrongs, just learning experiences to develop their self-awareness, their self-regulation, impulse control and understanding of themselves.

Empathy is introduced also.

LEARNING CURVE SELF-AWARENESS AND WELLBEING INDEX – YEAR 2

My Safe Circle of Adults This Lesson: Wellbeing Learning Intention is for children to understand that there will be times when they feel unsafe or want to share problems they are unsure of with adults who they trust.

Ask them to think about adults who will be in their Safe Circle. Ask them to draw a picture of or stick a photo in of each trusted adult in their safe circle.

Being aware means that I notice when I feel unsafe or unsure.

This Lesson: Wellbeing Learning Intention is for children to understand that everyone has their very own strengths that they use in their lives, which have been developed through their experiences when growing up. Ask them to circle five strengths below which they think could be their own. As a class brainstorm a further four strengths and draw in the blank emojis.

My Handful of Strengths This Lesson: Wellbeing Learning Intention is for children to understand that knowing and using their strengths enables them to make good choices in what they do every day. Ask them to write the five strengths they chose from page 4 on each of the fingers and thumb. In the palm of the hand, ask students to draw or describe a time when they were proud of how they used one of their strengths.

ACTIVITY

My Feelings and Thinking This Lesson: Wellbeing Learning Intention is for children to learn that when their feelings become stronger that their thinking can be affected, making good choices hard to make. Share that being able to notice when their feelings are strong, enables them to settle themselves before doing or saying something. Mark the warning signs they feel are getting stronger on the body below. Then mark the body part.

Emergencies and Danger This Lesson: Wellbeing Learning Intention is for children to develop an awareness of what are possible dangerous situations and what to do in case of emergencies. As a class, brainstorm possible dangerous and emergency situations and ask them to draw one of these. As a class, create a list of emergency phone numbers to take home and write a script for what they could say if they had to ring 000; unfortunately many children find themselves in these situations.

Dangerous or emergency situation and what I could do to stay safe.
