Personal, social and emotional development involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves and others; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities. Each day, the children take part in peer massage, discussions about the zones of regulations and relate our learning to our class charter.  

By the end of the EYFS, children should:  

• Continue to be interested, excited and motivated to learn. 

• Be confident to try new activities, initiate ideas and speak in a familiar group. Maintain attention, concentrate, and sit quietly when appropriate.  

• Respond to significant experiences, showing a range of feelings when appropriate.  

• Have a developing awareness of their own needs, views and feelings, and be sensitive to the needs, views and feelings of others. 

• Have a developing respect for their own cultures and beliefs and those of other people. Form good relationships with adults and peers.  

• Work as part of a group or class, taking turns and sharing fairly, understanding that there needs to be agreed values and codes of behaviour for groups of people, including adults and children, to work together harmoniously.  

• Understand what is right, what is wrong and why.  

• Consider the consequences of their words and actions for themselves and others.  

• Dress and undress independently and manage their own personal hygiene.  

• Select and use activities and resources independently.  

• Understand that people have different needs, views, cultures and beliefs, that need to be treated with respect.  

• Understand that they can expect others to treat their needs, views, cultures and beliefs with respect.
