This theme aims to develop and revisit four of the key social and emotional aspects of learning covered in previous themes, through a focus on bullying – what it is; how it feels; why people bully; how we can prevent and respond to it; and how children can use their social, emotional and behavioural skills to tackle this crucial problem. The four aspects of learning in which knowledge, skills and understanding are developed are self-awareness, empathy, managing feelings and social skills.
In Wales, the blue booklet (early years foundation phase) takes the place of the red (nursery and reception) and blue (KS1) booklets provided by the English SEAL Curriculum. It is divided into 4 'elements' (Element 1 equates to Nursery, Element 2 to Reception, Element 3 to Y1 and Element 4 to Y2), with curriculum activities appropriate to each year group. This booklet is available in Welsh medium - search using 'Wales: Welsh medium'.
