Check understanding

• Use the word 'empathy' correctly and distinguish it from 'sympathy' — e.g. 'Empathy means I try to feel what they feel'
• Explain what 'perspective' and 'point of view' mean and demonstrate by describing how two people might see the same event differently
• Use words like 'community', 'belonging', and 'inclusion' accurately when talking about their school or neighbourhood

“When your child sees someone who seems sad or left out, can they describe what that person might be feeling using words like 'empathy' or 'perspective' — showing they're thinking about the other person, not just themselves?”
