Explanation
I belong to many groups. My family is a group. My class is a group. My school is a group. My neighbourhood is a group too. In every group, people have names and ages. Groups also have rules. Rules help everyone to be safe and happy. In class we listen, take turns and are kind.
Worked examples
Seif and Habiba are six years old. Marwan is seven. Children in one class can be different ages.
A class rule: take turns. Mariam waits for her turn on the slide.
In Nour’s class there are 4 girls and 3 boys. Count them: there are 7 children.
Class activity
Our groups. Draw four circles. Write or draw one group in each: your family, your class, your school and your neighbourhood. Then say one rule for each group.
