Book of the Week - 13th October

Find Out About Feelings – a lift the flap book

Find Out About Feelings helps children get to grips with their feelings and emotions - a key topic for both them and parents. Featuring friendly child characters and familiar situations, they will find answers and reassurance when they are feeling happy, sad, frightened, brave and everything in between. With fun flaps to lift and a memory game at the end, this is an excellent book for children and parents to share together.

This week we have been exploring emotions and feelings with the children. We used our faces and our bodies to express our feelings, and talked about how we can make our friends or ourselves feel better when they are sad or cross. Some children said tickles always made them feel better!

We have been practicing our Makaton signs to help us express ourselves when we cannot quite say how we feel. Here are some videos so you can practice them at home!

Angry/grumpy/cross
