Willowbank School, KilmarnockWe have been confident individuals learning about zones of regulation and that our emotions can change throughout the day depending on everything that is happening around me.
We have completed a lot of work on feelings and strategies to carry out to help regulate our emotions and make us feel happier.
We created an emotional rollercoaster that we change throughout the day when a situation arises that could cause our emotions to change.

In the Oak class we have been involved in weekly lessons based on LGBT. Our work is focused around two books and this week the book is ‘Prince Henry’. A story about love and equality between two people. Everyone has the choice to fall in love with whoever they want.
We spoke about our family network and who is around us and the people that care and love us. We created a family tree and we were confident individuals when sharing with our friends.
That special day to share and show your love is approaching. In the Oak classes we have made a lovely heart decoration and a sweet treat. We were successful learners when following instructions to make both these gifts.
I wonder who will be receiving these lovely surprises!
