In our Circle Time today we started to think about November’s value word – Freedom. Mrs Butterworth showed us some pictures in yesterday’s assembly linking to Freedom and we also enjoyed listening to a song about freedom. Today we started thinking in more detail about what freedom means and how it affects our lives. We shared some ideas about what freedom means to us:

• Being free to go anywhere in our house.
• Being able to choose who we play with.
• Going to the park and running around.
• Making or getting our own snacks.
• Looking after our pets or baby brothers and sisters.
• Going to the beach.

We then started to think about the responsibility that comes with freedom. We discussed being free when we go to the park also means we need to be responsible to ensure we are safe. We also discussed how being free in our houses means we need to be responsible and look after it also.
