Room 1 have focused on a ‘back to nature’ theme this Term.  We have enjoyed a number of texts about getting out into nature and appreciating what you see and touch as well as exploring how it makes you feel to be in nature.  Our school garden has provided a great backdrop for using all of our senses to explore the outdoors.

Our Health program has focused on recognising and identifying emotions using the Zones of Regulation.  We have been looking at different scenarios and identifying the feelings and emotions that it could make each of us feel and matching that up to one of the four zones.  We are always focusing on ways to keep our bodies happy and calm so that we are ready to learn when at school but also to communicate our feelings when we are unhappy about a situation.

It has been so encouraging seeing all of the students adjusting to new and different routines at school.  We have seen such independence in getting ourselves to school and the classroom and being ready for the day. Go Room 1!
