Year 1 PSHE- Feelings
Today in our PSHE lesson we identified different feelings. We acted out how we might look when feeling happy, sad, angry etc. We also discussed how our body reacts when feeling emotions- when we are happy we smile, when we are sad we may cry, when we are angry we can feel hot. Year 1 then suggested different people we can talk to when we are feeling emotions such as parents, siblings, teachers, grandparents, aunties and uncles and our friends.
Blessed with beautiful views in Year 4
Today, Year 4 took some time to admire what beautiful views we have from our classroom window, especially when rainbows appear! A rainbow is often a sign of hope, the beauty after the storm or good fortune and this led us wonderfully into our lunchtime prayers.
