Living and Learning: I can recognise emotions in myself and others.

Today we thought about what emotions are and how we can tell what emotions others are displaying. We had a discussion about this and Lucas shared that sometimes he shows emotions without meaning to. Ellie added that she has noticed others asking if she is okay when she is sad sometimes. We discussed the idea that our emotions can be difficult to control sometimes and sometimes we may not understand them ourselves. Louie told us that when he feels emotions like anger or frustration, he would rather be left on his own to calm down. After talking as a class we had a go at drawing different emotions onto people’s faces to show what we might look like if we are tired, happy, astonished or nervous.
