The children in Reception spent their morning discussing their feelings, looking into facial expressions and how to react in tricky situations. The children showed great understanding as they went through the emotions showing their expressions. You can see in the images, their happy, sad, angry, surprised and scared faces. It opened up a beautiful discussion about how its okay not to be happy all the time or understand how we are feeling. They key thing that the children concluded is that it always best to talk to some one and share how you are feeling.
The class have introduced a mood chart and a calm corner to support their personal, emotional and social development. The children have been moving their pictures to express how they are feeling when they can’t find the words.
