Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Circle of trust

Hand out the mini whiteboards (one each) and ask the children to draw a line splitting their whiteboard in half.

On one half, ask the children to record five people they feel comfortable reaching out to and speaking to at school (for example, teachers and friends). On the other half, ask the children to record five people they can talk to at home (for example, parents, siblings, extended family or friends).

Take feedback, highlighting that these names represent the children's circle of trust and emphasise the importance of reaching out and talking to these people.
