PAThS Control Signals
Primary 2/3 have been learning about the PAThS control signals and how they can use these to manage their feelings to prevent them from ‘losing their temper’ and behaving in a way they might regret.
We read a story which spoke about how we all have an imaginary balloon inside us that gets filled more and more each time we feel an uncomfortable feeling such as anger or upset and once it gets too full it can burst which causes us to behave in a certain way. Usually the way we behave at this point is a ‘not okay’ behaviour and we can often regret it. Using the PAThS control signals, P2/3 have been discussing times when their imaginary balloon has burst in the past and how they reacted to this. They then discussed plans they could have made if they had known about and used the control signals to help them cope with the situation. They came up with some fantastic plans.

As always, we selected a random pupil from the class to compliment to help boost their self-esteem and build confidence.
