Yesterday\u00a0we had our fourth Roots of Empathy session with Miss Law. Roots of Empathy is a programme that teaches children how to recognise feelings and empathise with others. The programme is going to run in Primary 2 every Wednesday afternoon for 18 weeks. We will also welcome a real life baby into the class every three weeks and this will help us to learn in a real life way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Over the last three sessions we were learning all about facial expressions. We learned that facial expressions can tell us how someone feels. During session one we thought about things that we think babies can do. Some of the suggestions were walking, sleeping, eating, dancing, talking and crying. <\/span><\/p>\n

During our second session we got to meet baby Isaac. Isaac came into our class with his mum and dad. We sang the welcome song to welcome them to our class. Isaac lay on the big green blanket and we gave Isaac toys. We looked back at our list to see if Isaac was able to do the things we thought that he would have been able to. He could do some of the things and we think that the things he couldn\u2019t do, he will be able to do in the future. We loved having baby Isaac in our class and we can\u2019t wait until he comes back to visit us again.<\/span><\/p>\n
