Year Three enjoyed learning about the importance of looking after their well-being. We started by reading the story of Tiny T-Rex and the Impossible Hug and discussed how regardless of what you look like, it is important to have a big, kind heart!
Afterwards, we all gathered around in a circle and we participated in a lovely activity. The children had to pour some water into a beaker and explain a worry that they had a ndonce the water was full and started spilling out, we discussed how it is very similar to humans. We explained that if humans take on too many worries and don’t speak, they will spill out with emotion. Then, we decided to remove a cup of water at a time and come up with strategies to explain how we could try to cope with our emotions when they are too much.
Finally, all the children received a kindness bingo card to complete throughout the next few weeks. The card was full of activities to complete in their own time and once their card is full, they have to return it to the teacher!
Just a reminder Year Three – each and every one of you are amazing!
