Emotion Explorers
Tēnā koe! Lately, in the Rua class, we are diving deep into the world of social-emotional competence, and it has been an incredibly fun and engaging journey for everyone!
Our activities have allowed us to explore emotions in creative ways. We’ve enjoyed painting, making collages emotions, emotion flip cards and drawing faces that represent different feelings, each creation sparking meaningful discussions about our emotions. One of the highlights has been our emotional bingo game, which not only brought laughter , excitement and learning of all the emotion but also fostered a wonderful atmosphere of connection among the children. It was heartwarming to watch them play, share stories, and ask thoughtful questions about emotions they were less familiar with then connecting them to everyday life.
Through these experiences, the children are not only learning to recognize and express their own feelings but also developing empathy and understanding for other. This experience helps with a sense of community and belonging which is an amazing foundation for their social growth.
We look forward to continuing this enriching exploration and seeing how it helps our children grow emotionally, socially and have the ability to connect and support everyone's emotions as we all grow
