Last week we completed our racism reports, to raise awareness we have visited @Year1PDCS to share our knowledge and make sure they can help us in the fight to stop racism❤️. We loved sharing our learning and teaching others😊. #ethicallyinformedcitizens #antiracism @HeadPdcs

@EmpathyLabUK we're often asked if you can teach really young children about empathy. The answer is yes, as you can see from this heart-melting @Year1PDCS #EmpathyDay video. The empathy-educated generation coming through!! And look @JionSheibani , your Emotion Map's up there!
In the run up to #EmpathyDay on Thursday we’ve been talking about what empathy is and why Empathy Day is important to us ❤️ We can’t wait to share some of our missions with you later on this week! @EmpathyLabUK @MirandaMcK @WG_Education

I find it really moving when, after all the planning/ hoping we've got everything right for #EmpathyDay , children respond so thoughtfully, so beautifully. Thank you @Year1PDCS - you're such brilliant partners in our @EmpathyLabUK mission to raise an empathy educated generation
William’s uploaded his fantastic #EmpathyDay homework to #J2e. He’s been an empathy spotter with his glasses and videoed an empathy conversation with his sister describing how it’s important to be kind and a good friend. We look forward to seeing more homework! @EmpathyLabUK

What a blast! Diolch! Was great to be back in Wales virtually with I AM NEFERTITI, I lived there for 5 years before all of Year 1 & 2 were born! 😀 Thank you Kate for organising and I’m inspired by all of you! 💐🥁🙌🏾
We’ve had an inspirational empathy-filled morning in Yr1&2 with the fabulous author @AnnemarieAnang! We’ve sung, danced, listen to her storytelling and found out about the instruments in ‘I am Nefertiti’ too. Thank you so much for joining us!♥️ @VirtualAuthorUK @EmpathyLabUK

This has filled my heart with joy Well done @Year1PDCS pupils They are all so great!! Keep going
We have been inspired by the artist @LiaqatRasulArt’s mobile faces. We enjoyed learning about Liaqat’s work and loved creating our own faces using card and bits of paper that we have collected. @KarenBrooke12

These are wonderful....love them
After creating our own self portraits we’ve moved on to studying the work of the artist Liaqat Rasul. We used everyday objects collected from home like receipts, tickets, packaging and string to make face collages in his style 🧾✉️🧵 #ExpressiveArts @LiaqatRasulArt @WG_Education

We love I am Nefertiti @AnnemarieAnang and it is great to hear how @Year1PDCS have used the book to explore that essential empathy skill of perspective taking
Yr1 have been using their perspective taking #empathy skills to write Nefertiti’s diary entry. They put themselves in her shoes and imagined how she felt when her teacher didn’t call her by her proper name. Look at these fantastic pieces of writing! @AnnemarieAnang @EmpathyLabUK

This is wonderful #empathy work @Year1PDCS ! @jeffreykboakye - interesting to see this @EmpathyLabUK school weaving our work together with @Voice21oracy work
We empathised with Sulwe using our red hat thinking skills & put ourselves in her shoes. We used our Voice 21 oracy charters to work in trios, take turns, summarise and feedback. We listed emotional vocabulary to use in our story writing @voice21oracy @EmpathyLabUK @WG_Education
