This week we have talked about how we feel and how to communicate our feelings to each other. The children have been practising how to take time to stop and think. We do this by closing our eyes and focusing on a specific theme. The children are getting very good at this and we are now encouraging them to talk about their thoughts. We have read a very good book called A bag full of worries. We asked the children to talk about a worry that they had and then we asked them to put the worry into a bag. We then threw the worries out of the door to help the children let go of any anxieties they may have had. It is really helpful as I put a few in myself and felt much better after. Finally we have started to introduce a daily mile. We spend 5 minutes at 1.00pm running around the playground with the rest of the school. This is going to increase to a full mile. The children are loving this and it does give us all a good feeling.
Have a great weekend.
Mrs Robinson.
