Continuing with Health & Wellbeing Week, the Pink and Yellow groups have been exploring feelings through various props in the Story Box, inspired by the lovely book “We are Together” by Britta Teckentrup. It is a story about self belief, resilience, and the power of friendship.
“Look at this… Sun up in the sky with rain. The rain becomes a rainbow!” “I don’t mind rain.” “I hate rain.” “This one is a shooting star.”
As they played with the props the children also began telling their own stories:
“Evil seagulls come out when there’s a storm. The butterfly will wait” (till the storm has passed)
“We need to add more people.”
“This sounds like birds singing.”
“This one makes it heavier.”
Aw… all cooried up with a soft blanket and heart pillow…
”If storm clouds gather and we’re caught in the rain,
Let’s splash through the puddles until the sun shines again.”
(from “We are Together”)
