The children have been thinking about how they feel when they come to school and let me know by placing their photograph on the colour emotion. This gives me a quick indication of who may be needing a little help to move into the green (happy) zone.
Library
The children really enjoyed their first visit to the library this term. The Primary 1’s were super chuffed that they could take their books home until next Friday.
Day One At School
The children had a super first day back at school and loved exploring the play provision in the classroom and shared area.
It was lovely to spend time chatting with each child to hear what they had been doing in their summer holidays and what they are looking forward to doing at school this year.
They had snack in the class and then went out to play with all the other children in the school.
After playtime they met Mr Travins the new music teacher. It was lots of fun and they sang and danced along to lots of cool songs.
We had a chat about the Zones of Regulation and the emotional check in system we use throughout the school and the children showed me all their happy, sad, angry and worried faces!
Everyone managed really well at lunchtime lining up and telling the cooks what choices they would like. Lots of clean plates and great manners.
