Library time 

Today we had some time in the library exploring books together. The children loved having some time to read stories. 

Target games 

Class 2 have been improving their aim in PE! 

All four zones across the week!

Get in the zone - day 4 

Today we focused on the green zone. The children did yoga to feel those calm and peaceful green zone feelings.

Today we focused on the blue zone. The children made beautiful collages of the sea using lots of different materials. 

Chinese Dragon dance workshop

Class 2 had so much fun learning a dance to celebrate Chinese New Year!

Get in the zone - day 2

Today we focused on the yellow zone. We decorated a classroom worry box together, and played keep up the balloon to help create those excitable yellow feelings! The children really enjoyed playing this game.

Get in the zone - day 1

On the first day of our zones week, we focused on the red zone. The children thought about different feelings that put us in the red zone, and how this makes our bodies and minds feel. They stomped their feet, ran around and shouted (very loudly!) to mimic some of those red zone feelings. They then completed a sensory circuit, to discover which tools could help them with self regulation. Below are a few class pictures and then lots of the children completing the circuit!
