Everyone welcome! # Year 3- PSHE-How can we solve this problem? ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-74D0DF69-4B1E-4602-90D9-789FD66A18AA(1).png) 25 September 2024 In our PSHE lesson, I shared a scenario where a close friend's big birthday celebration is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I've been invited. However, another family member has arranged a trip to the seaside for the same weekend, inviting many of the same people. Neither knew the other had planned something and when they found out, they got into a big argument, shouting at each other and storming off. Now, they’re not speaking, and it’s caused a lot of tension. We discussed how they might have felt, why they argued, and how shouting didn't help the situation. Year 3 came up with some brilliant solutions to solve the problem. They suggested that one way to fix the situation could be for one person to change the event date so that everyone could attend both the birthday party and the seaside trip without a clash. Another idea was to have a joint celebration, where everyone could come together for one big event that includes the birthday and the trip. Some children even suggested talking calmly and finding a compromise to make both people happy, rather than arguing and storming off. We also discussed how important it is to think about other people’s feelings and find a solution that’s fair for everyone involved. We also looked at an online safety poster about Instagram. The children shared what they like to watch and post online, and some were surprised to learn about the age restrictions. Many didn’t know that Instagram has a minimum age requirement of 13 years old. We talked about why these restrictions are in place, such as to protect young people from inappropriate content and ensure their safety online. The children were able to understand that being careful about what they watch, post, and share is really important, and we discussed how some online spaces might not always be safe for younger users. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-74D0DF69-4B1E-4602-90D9-789FD66A18AA(1).png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [PSHE](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/pshe) [Computing](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/computing) [Online Safety](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/online-safety) [Discussions](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/discussions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0657.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-25-ks2-football) Previous ### [KS2 Football ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-25-ks2-football) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/44551A15-4429-4121-B3AB-7E5EF5DD2E79.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-26-reception-counting-to-5) Next ### [Reception - Counting to 5](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-09-26-reception-counting-to-5) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
