PSHE

L.O.  To be able to recognise the size of the problem.

 

In our PSHE lessons we have been focusing on our feelings, using the zones of regulation. We have looked at using the zones of regulation colours to help us to identify how we are feeling and strategies that we can use to help us.

 

Today we are going to look at things that might make us feel blue, yellow or red. If somebody says something unkind to me, that might make me feel red. If I drop my bookbag walking in to school, that might also make me feel red. BUT… even though I may feel red as a result of both of these incidents, are they both equally as bad?

 

Activity

Watch and talk about the video on ‘the size of the problem’.  If you are feeling calm, begin to talk about a problem your child has experienced. Was it a big or small problem? How did they react big or small? Could they think about reacting differently next time? What strategies could they use? Take a deep breath before responding?
