  • Define 'rule' and 'fairness' and explain why rules exist using their own examples from school or home

Assessment Prompt

“If [child] faces a situation where they need to make a choice — like whether to tell the truth about something that went wrong — can they talk through what might happen using words like 'consequence' and 'fair'?”
