Answers, and what a wrong one tells you

A

1. happy If your child picks stormy, ask what a stormy day feels like inside. Calm and glad is a sunny feeling.

2. 1 Calm down · 2 Share your side · 3 Find a fix If your child puts Find a fix first, ask what you need before you can fix anything. Calm down comes first.

3. take turns on the slide If your child picks only one friend may play, ask who gets left out. Fair rules let everyone have a turn.

B

1. teacher If your child picks firefighter, ask where a firefighter works. Teachers help children learn at school.

2. Look for: names one real place near the child's home, such as a shop, park, school or library

C

1. postal worker If your child picks firefighter, ask who keeps us safe from fires. The postal worker brings letters.

2. NHS worker

3. teacher

4. local councillor

D

1. Look for: says Lou is wrong because the children and staff at the same school form a community If your child says Lou is right, ask who else goes to the school. Children and teachers who share a school are a community.

E

1. Look for: names a helper and says how they help other people

Words to use

Say“Who helps you at school or on our street? What do they do to help people?”

Instead of“Just learn the job names off by heart.”

After the sheet

Walk round your street together and point out helpers you see, such as a postman or a teacher at the school gate. Say what each one does.

Tick what your child got right in StudyDen. Anything missed comes back in a later Look back box, so there's no need to redo the sheet.
