Children's Mental Health Week
This week has been Children's Mental Health Week. We have enjoyed making our voices heard and using our Zones of Regulation tool kits to help us regulate our emotions. As a little treat for working so hard this half term, we watched some of the Disney/Pixar movie Inside Out and discussed what the different colours represented.
Chinese New Year
This week we have loved learning about Chinese New Year and have made some beautiful drawings of dragons to celebrate the year of the dragon.

Zones of Regulation
We are going to be introducing a whole class well being strategy called 'Zones of Regulation'. We listened to the story called 'The Colour Monster' by Anna Llenas and put words to our feelings. We then talked about what strategies help us when we are feeling dysregulated.
