Part 1- SEL:

Introducing Emotion Management.

SEL Introducing Emotion Management (Homework Included)

When you have strong feelings, it’s hard for your brain to think. The feeling part of the brain can take over! When this happens, it’s like you “flip your lid” or lose control of the thinking part of the brain. Try to focus your attention on your body for clues about how you’re feeling. This gets your brain thinking again, so we can start to take back control.

When we get worried or feel anxious about something our body starts to feel very uncomfortable. For example, if you’re nervous about a test; your hands get sweaty, your face gets hot and your heart is beating fast. These are the clues that the feelings part of your brain is taking over.

When this happens, we have to do something to manage these strong feelings and get back in control, such us : deep belly breathing, use positive self -talk or do something that makes us feel good.

This week practise using your strategies to get back in control when you are upset.

Part 2- Art: Managing Emotion.

Now that you have completed your SEL (Social and Emotional Learning)

We are ready to link emotions to our Art!

Artists make choices about how to express feelings through art. They do this by choosing what to draw, what colours to use, how to use line and texture to make people feel emotional.

This week, we are going to be drawing a pattern to help us control our emotions.

We also need to choose colours carefully because different colours can represent different emotions.

What You Need:

A4 paper
Grey lead, coloured textas and a black biro.
Rubber.

What You Need To Do:

Look at all the patterns around the page and choose one to draw.
Fold your A4 paper in half and in half again. Two times. This will help you to keep the pattern straight.
Choose a starting point. eg. In the center of the page or at the corners of the paper or along the top of your page.
Look very carefully at the pattern you have chosen and follow it.
Choose your colours carefully.

Get inspiration from the images. ENJOY!!!

Play some of your favourite music while you create your unique image.

Part 1- SEL:

Managing strong emotions

Managing Strong Emotions (Homework Included).

We all get upset about different things:

*getting into arguments at recess about rules or fairness of the game

*fighting with a sibling or a friend about whose turn it is when someone jumps the queue

*When someone calls me a name

*Think about what your brain and body does when you get upset.

Calming down strategies:

Belly breathing

2. Counting forwards or backwards

3. Positive self talk

Belly breathing

Now we are going to practise deep, centred breathing (belly breathing). Make sure you have your hand on your stomach and take a breath through your nose into the lower part of your lungs. You should feel your stomach moving as you do this. Now breathe out through your mouth slowly and evenly. Make sure you can feel your hand moving out as you breathe in. Do this into your heart rate slows down.

When you do deep breathing, your body gets a message that everything is okay. That helps you calm down.

Now watch the video on Mindful breathing. This week practise controlling your emotions.

Counting forwards or backwards

We can count forwards or backwards with or without breathing to help us calm down. Counting can help you avoid saying or doing something that will make the situation worse.

Positive self talk

We can also use positive self-talk to calm ourselves down, for example we could say – “I can figure this out”, “it’s not the end of the world”, “maybe they didn’t mean to do that”.

Once you’ve calm down - ask yourself “what is my next step to fix what is upsetting me?”

Sometimes the solution is obvious, and you will know what to do and sometimes it’s more complicated than you might need to do some problem-solving.

Now watch the video on Mindful breathing. This week practise controlling your emotions.

He would let his cats walk over his paintings and leave their prints on his paintings. You can do the same.

What You Need:

A4 paper
Grey lead, coloured textas and a black biro.
Rubber.

What You Need To Do:

Look at the images of Klee's cat's and choose your favourite one.
Sketch your drawing lightly with lead pencil.
Sketch your drawing lightly with lead pencil.

Look very carefully at the background in image 2. There are hazy squares throughout the drawing. If you fold your page many times you can create these square.
Be calm and enjoy.

Part 1- SEL:

calming down anger

Calming Down Anger (Homework Included).

Everyone gets upset from time to time. It is important to recognise our body signals when we are getting upset. For example, you might feel hot, go red and clench your fists. What are some of the signs your body sends you when you’re feeling angry?

When we don’t get our anger under control, we often end up doing things that we regret later.

Common examples that make us angry include: being blamed for something we didn’t do, having a fight with our friends, not getting our own way and dealing with another person who is being mean to us. In addition to using calming down techniques (deep belly breathing, and positive self talk), sometimes you need to either walk away from the situation, ignore it, or talk to somebody about it. Being calm will help you have patience in these kinds of situations.

When we are aware of these body signals, it is time to do something about it before we ‘flip our lid’. When you experience this, use your calming down strategies: such as slow deep belly breathing and positive self –talk.

Now watch the video on mindful breathing.

This week practice calming down.

Now complete your homework labelled calming down.
