The Teaching Guide contains a range of interactive activities for the classroom, divided into those suitable for years 0-1 and those for years 2-3. Each activity has its own learning outcomes.
The activities are organised into 6 Modules:
Module 1 — The Same but Different
Children describe special things about themselves and others, and find out about similarities and differences between peers, and families.
Module 2 — A Happy, Safe Classroom
Children identify acceptable ways of behaving and practise sharing and co-operation in the classroom.
Module 3 — Let's all be Friends
Children find out about bullying and identify safe places to play.
Module 4 — I have Choices
Children identify choices that they can make and think of the consequences of these.
Module 5 — Helping Hands
Children explore who and how to ask for help, and find ways to help each other.
Module 6 — We have made a Difference
Children practise playing and working co-operatively with peers, older students and family.
Parents and caregivers are encouraged to take part in classroom sessions and to help with home activities.
The following messages may become part of children's thinking as they work through the programme.
