This week’s Living and Learning statement is:
We discussed a range of emotions and the importance of recognising and talking about them.
Emotions are feelings – they can change all the time. We all experience a whole range of emotions, from anger to happiness to fear. This is ok and normal.
Emotions and feelings are our mental health.
We talked about how we can read people’s faces and body language to help us understand how they might be feeling. The children had a go at showing what these emotions might look like.
Everyone has the right to ask for help. If you need help with your emotions, or you notice someone else might need help with their emotions, speak to a trusted adult.
Help at home by discussing this learning with your child. Encourage your child to talk about their feelings – do they know who to speak to at school if they need help with their emotions?
Why not try completing this emotions chart with your child to highlight how emotions can change over the course of a day or event?
