'A Fresh Start': Learning from Mistakes - Conflict Resolution Worksheet
It can be good to just ‘start a fresh’. This resource has been designed to support with peer conflict and restorative practice. It helps children to reflect on how their behaviour affects themselves and others around them. Children can be supported to learn from their mistakes.
Sometimes things in our lives do not go to plan. We can learn from these experiences if we take the time to reflect on them. This worksheet allows you to think about what went well, what did not work out how you had imagined and what you can do next time to have a fresh start!
Suitable for KS1, KS2.
How could this resource be used?
- To explore and teach children restorative behaviour strategies for resolving conflicts.
- To allow children to reflect on their actions and make more informed decisions next time.
