This week in Barn Owls we our focusing on ourselves and our feelings! So today we have enjoyed our morning group time outside around our fire pit!
As this was the first time having story time around our fire pit for many of our Barn Owls we started the session by going over our fire pit rules and talking about the potential dangers!
‘fire is hot like a volcano’ MR said.
The children were then able to listen to the colour monster story whilst watching the fire crackle and glow! ‘I feel calm looking at the fire’ HK said.
The story talks about all the different feelings we may feel and gives them all a colour so the children can easily describe how they feel in colour!
Yellow – Happiness, Blue – Sadness, Red – Anger, Black – Scared, Green – Calm and Pink – love
We then asked the children how they were feeling today:
‘Sometimes I get scared when I’m in my dark bedroom’ HB said
W will be continuing our work on feelings with lots of different activities throughout the week!
