Hi All I have an interview on Monday and have just been told I'm teaching Year 2 for 45 mins, PSHE, resolving conflict theme. Does anyone have any super ideas of things they have done? I thought about starting with some clearly fair/unfair scenarios and then moving onto ones that are a little less clear cut to prompt discussion but I'm not really sure! Any good stories for this? Thanks in advance! xx

Mixed Ability Groups/talk Partners
by Guest- 5 replies

Hi I teach Year 2 and have recently had some training on the benefits of using talk partners and peer evaluation, which I would like to introduce more into my class, using random talk partners that change each week, lollysticks etc. rather than just the 'turn to the person next to you' I have done before.
