Personal, Social and emotional Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
There are three Early Learning Goals within this area:
Self-regulation:
Children at the expected level of development will:
-
Show an understanding of their own feelings and those of others, and begin to regulate their behaviour accordingly.
-
Set and work towards simple goals, being able to wait for what they want and control their immediate impulses when appropriate.
-
Give focused attention to what the teacher says, responding appropriately even when engaged in activity, and show an ability to follow instructions involving several ideas or actions.
Managing Self:
Children at the expected level of development will:
-
Be confident to try new activities and show independence, resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge.
-
Explain the reasons for rules, know right from wrong and try to behave accordingly.
-
Manage their own basic hygiene and personal needs, including dressing, going to the toilet and understanding the importance of healthy food choices.
Building Relationships:
Children at the expected level of development will:
-
Work and play cooperatively and take turns with others.
-
Form positive attachments to adults and friendships with peers.
-
Show sensitivity to their own and to others’ needs.
At Grace Cook children are taught about our School Values ‘The 3 B’s and are encouraged to promote and demonstrate these in their learning and throughout the school day.
Using a range of strategies such as the ‘recognition ring’, and house points for positive behaviour, children are supported to master the skills of self-regulation, empathy and consideration of others.
Through meaningful interactions and adult modelling, children begin to build positive relationships with both their peers and members of staff.
