Positive Emotion

Positive Emotion

In Autahi we spend a lot of time each day talking about how we are feeling, learning how to better express our emotions and focusing on the positive.  What we focus on flourishes.  Often we have class meetings where we discuss things we could do at playtime, who we might like to play with and ways we can cope when we aren't feeling so great.  We often get together and check-in about how our playtime went.  We spend a few minutes practising mindfulness, savouring a really good feeling or letting go of any stress or worry we have.  

This really helps us to settle our minds and bodies and allows us an opportunity to talk about what we did at playtime.

We are so lucky too because sometimes we have big buddies come and play with us at playtime.
Here are some of the PALS teaching us a game!

Big Buddies


Big Buddies
We had big buddies from the seniors come into class and read to us.  It was really nice to get to know some of our big buddies.  Now when we are on the playground we will know some of the big kids! This will be great if we need some help or are feeling lonely!









This is our Tranquility Tee-Pee.  It's a really good place to have a nice quiet story!

PALS

On Monday lunch time George and Hunter ran a PALS activity 


"We did a range of different block building activities like…


  • Bridge, you have to build a bridge to hold a lunch box.
  • High tower, Build the highest tower.
  • Hat challenge, you have to build a tower with a hat over your face (you can't see)


We asked the people that came to our activity what was their favourite activity.


Yoshi said his favourite was High Tower
Theo said his favourite was High Tower
Hadley said his favourite was Bridge
Jayden said his favourite was High Tower"
