We continue developing our understanding of the different feelings using the zones of Regulation. We also continue developing strategies to calm down if we are feeling emotional especially anxious using different breathing techniques.

We are also developing our understanding of the 5 School core values – care, consideration, courtesy, co-operation and commitment.

This week we will focus on care – how do we care about each other, how do we show we care.
