Conflict resolution for year 5 - Stay Safe Partnership

Outcomes

Throughout the session students will:

  • look at the emotions around conflict
  • understand what tools can help us deal with conflict
  • know which tools to use at the correct and appropriate time
Service Description

This free workshop is available for all year 5 children in Lincolnshire as part of the Lincolnshire Domestic Abuse Partnership healthy relationships programme.

The game of conflict – a workshop which guides students through:

  • the emotions associated with different types of conflict
  • the tools required to deal with them in order to reach a positive resolution

The workshop runs in the style of a board game. Students will be placed into teams each with their own character to move around the board. Teams will encounter different scenarios, tools and conflicts that they must work to overcome throughout the session.

They will establish that the more tools they have to deal with the conflict’s that arise the better equipt they are to negotiate and find a positive solution.

Follow up resources are provided to further embed ways of dealing with conflict.

Benefits

This workshop will cover key aspects of the key stage 2 currciulum, statutory guidance for:

  • relationships education
  • relationships and sex education (RSE)
  • health education)

Such as:

  • 54. The focus in primary school should be on teaching the fundamental building blocks and characteristics of positive relationships, with particular reference to friendships, family relationships, and relationships with other children and with adults.
  • 55. This starts with pupils being taught about what a relationship is, what friendship is, what family means and who the people are who can support them. From the beginning of primary school, building on early education, pupils should be taught how to take turns, how to treat each other with kindness, consideration, and respect.
  • 56. Respect for others should be taught in an age-appropriate way, in terms of understanding one’s own and others’ boundaries in play, in negotiations about space, toys, books, resources and so on.
  • 57. Drawing attention to these (relationships) in a range of contexts should enable pupils to form a strong early understanding of the features of relationships that are likely to lead to happiness and security. This will also help them to recognise any less positive relationships when they encounter them.
  • 62. Through relationships education (and RSE), schools should teach pupils the knowledge they need to recognise and to report abuse, including emotional, physical and sexual abuse. In primary schools, this can be delivered by focusing on boundaries and privacy, ensuring young people understand that they have rights over their own bodies. This should also include understanding boundaries in friendships with peers and also in families and with others, in all contexts, including online.
