This resource centres on the personal and social skills and understandings that are explored in each episode of the children’s series, Eddie’s Lil’ Homies. It includes concepts, discussion starters and hands-on learning tasks that support Foundation to Year 2 students to understand themselves and others, supporting them to navigate relationships in the classroom and beyond.

Lessons are aligned to the Australian Curriculum, addressing content from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, Critical and Creative Thinking, English, Health and Physical Education, and Personal and Social Capability.

Developed for Foundation to Year 2 students and teachers, this resource includes 10 lessons on understanding ourselves and others. These can be delivered consecutively as a learning sequence or as standalone lessons. 

Each lesson explores concepts and skills that support students to understand and manage themselves, relate to others, communicate and collaborate with others, set goals and resolve conflict.

Lesson topics align with sub-elements in the Personal and Social Capability learning continuum, progressing from self-awareness and self-management knowledge and skills to those required for social awareness and social management. Students identify, explore and respond to examples in the screen text Eddie’s Lil’ Homies, and reinforce their understandings through discussions and learning tasks.

• Focus on Eddie’s Lil’ Homies episode
• Themed under a sub-element of personal and social capability.
• 5E lesson plan for guided inquiry
• Learning intentions
• Learning and assessment tasks
