This week, the children have been learning about the "Zones of Regulation*", helping them to understand and talk about their emotions. We explored different feelings, discussing how we express our emotions and why we may feel them in different situations.

The children enjoyed observing themselves in mirrors as they practised showing a range of emotions, carefully noticing the different facial expressions they could see. They then had the opportunity to draw these expressions on paper, developing both their emotional awareness and creative skills.

We also took part in painting activities, where the children coloured faces using the colours that represent emotions within the Zones of Regulation. These activities supported the children in recognising their feelings and beginning to understand healthy ways to express and manage their emotions
