Mental and Emotional Wellbeing • I know that friendship, caring, sharing, fairness, equality and love are important in building positive relationships. As I develop and value relationships, I care and show respect for myself and others. • I understand that people can feel alone and can be misunderstood and left out by others. I am learning how to give appropriate support. Social Wellbeing • As I explore the rights to which I and others are entitled, I am able to exercise these rights appropriately and accept the responsibilities that go with them. I show respect for the rights of others. • I recognise that each individual has a unique blend of abilities and needs. I contribute to making my school community one which values individuals equally and is a welcoming place for all. • I value the opportunities I am given to make friends and be part of a group in a range of situations. |
