PSHE: Positive and negative friendship scenarios and resolving conflict:

Mindfulness minute: Take some deep breaths and think about all the loved ones in your life. Write in the

bubble all the people you feel close to in life that you have a positive relationship with.

Think about what a healthy relationship with others looks like and how does it make you

feel?

Now think about a negative relationship you have had with someone… How did that make

you feel?

Look at the scenarios given below. I want you to read them and think about if it is ever okay

for someone to treat you like this or not? Can you think of any times when that would be okay?

If there are any scenarios where the person means well, what would a better course of action

be?

People often fall out with friends and then make up again a little while after. This is okay,

people don’t agree all the time. However, it is not okay, not to be kind. If you saw someone

being unkind would you help? Or would you ignore it?

Read the scenarios below and think of how you could be kind to these children and how

you would help them:

Read the scenario below and answer the questions:

1. Why do you think Ava said that to Emily?

2. Do you think Ava knows Emily will be upset? Why do you think this?

4. Why do you think no one helps Emily?

5. Why do you think no one challenges Ava?

6. What do you think will happen during the next playtime or lunchtime?

7. Do you think anyone should tell an adult what has happened? Why do you think this?

this?
