This week we had a delightful visit from Sorrel, who shared wonderful music about communication. The children thoroughly enjoyed themselves and learned several new songs, which our staff is now integrating into their daily routines. Additionally, Sorrel was very thoughtful, leaving us a lovely bag of treats!

Last week we gathered for a mini mindfulness session focused on this month's dinosaur, the Calmasaurus.

I started by asking the group what they believe "calm" means, and they responded with words like “breathing,” “peace,” and “quiet.”

Next, I asked them what they could see, and they mentioned “windows” and “pictures.” When I inquired about what they could feel, they answered with “knees” and “floor.” I went on to ask about what they could hear, and they responded with “telephone” and “wind.” Then, when I asked what they could smell, they said “food” and “air.”

Finally, I asked the group to share one thing that makes them feel amazing about themselves.

We heard some lovely responses, including “good tidier,” “washing up,” “French,” “bikes,” and “running.”

This morning we had a joyful experience in the sunshine as we sought ways to cool off. We crafted our own bubbles, and the children displayed remarkable kindness by sharing various bubble wands and demonstrating techniques for creating the perfect bubble – a skill we are still working to perfect. It was a delightful approach to staying cool.

Happy Mental Health Awareness Week. 💚

We've enjoyed a lovely day playing outside, trying to stay dry while listening to the sound of the rain. We've talked about our feelings and discussed ways to be kind to one another.

With it being Mental Health Awareness week, we looked at different emotions with the children (letting them recognise and name the pre-drawn emotions) and spoke about how they show our feelings. We discovered that sometimes we can feel multiple emotions, but only show one via our facial expression and we spoke about how we deal with our emotions with actions. Knowing emotions is important, and so is being able to feel a certain way, which we always encourage with our children.
