Objectives

Early learning goals

  • Talk about past and present events in their own lives and in the lives of family members.
  • Know that other children do not always do the same things, and are sensitive to this.
  • Know about similarities and differences between others, and among families, communities and traditions.
  • Show sensitivity to others’ needs and feelings; form positive relationships with adults and other children.

Lesson Planning

Children share with class teacher the experience of being thanked; they practice saying thank you during the normal school day and begin to think about what and who they are thankful for.

Children will:

  • Have opportunity to talk about how being thanked makes them feel.
  • Realise the importance of the phrase ‘thank you’; that it is both being polite (good manners) and a feeling of thankfulness or gratitude.
  • Have opportunities to say thank you to peers and family members.
