Personal, Social & Emotional Development

PSHE with Jigsaw Jenie. Today we read The Family Book by Todd Parr. We sorted different pictures of families into groups. We learned that all families are different and all families are special.

PSHE with Jigsaw Jenie discussing “What am I good at?” Are we all good at the same things? What are you proud of?

Don’t Worry, Be Happy!

After enjoying the story ‘Ruby’s Worry’ and learning how a worry can shrink when we share it, we found out more about the special people in school who can help us - there are so many people! We then made these wonderful little worry dolls who will remind us that it’s good to talk!

Making friends!

Welcome Buster & Belle

We welcomed Buster the Dog and Belle the Cat into our role play. The children are loving caring for our furry pals; tickling Buster behind his ears and making sure Belle has a comfortable place to curl up and sleep. Buster is enjoying plenty of walks and is certainly very well fed! Well done, Starfish for making our new class pets feel so welcome!

The Zones of Regulation

We are learning about our different feelings and emotions. We learnt that we can link our emotions to different colour zones. We found out that it’s good to be green as in this zone we are focused, calm, proud and happy. Being blue can mean we feel sad or tired, bored or sick whereas our yellow zone emotions can make us feel excited, silly, frustrated or worried. If we find ourselves in the red zone we might be overjoyed, panicked, angry or even terrified!
We loved making faces to represent these colourful emotions and our feelings puppets helped us show our understanding of what these emotions look like and feel like in our own bodies - check out our angry expressions!!
