• take and share responsibility [for example, for their own behaviour; by helping to make classroom rules and following them; by looking after pets well]
• feel positive about themselves [for example, by having their achievements recognised and by being given positive feedback about themselves]
• take part in discussions [for example, talking about topics of school, local, national, European, Commonwealth and global concern, such as 'where our food and raw materials for industry come from']
• make real choices [for example, between healthy options in school meals, what to watch on television, what games to play, how to spend and save money sensibly]
• meet and talk with people [for example, with outside visitors such as religious leaders, police officers, the school nurse]
• develop relationships through work and play [for example, by sharing equipment with other pupils or their friends in a group task]
• consider social and moral dilemmas that they come across in everyday life [for example, aggressive behaviour, questions of fairness, right and wrong, simple political issues, use of money, simple environmental issues]
• ask for help [for example, from family and friends, midday supervisors, older pupils, the police].
