This term in PSHE, we have identified our feelings and explored different coping strategies to help regulate our emotions. We talked about our own feelings and thought about why we might feel that way. 

We started some lessons by singing "If you're happy and you know it!"


We also used a lovely book called "All About Feelings" to explore what happens when our feelings get jumbled!
