Annual, mid-term reports will be shared with parents by the end of this week for pupils in Y1-Y6.

This half term, our Key Concept is...

EXPRESSION!

In Reception the children have been exploring how we can express ourselves, especially looking at the creative arts. 

Today, the children explored the link between music, art and emotions. The children listened to different pieces of music and discussed how it made them feel and the colours they began to associate with that music. We discussed how we might respond to the music in our art, what strokes we might use, whether we might paint slowly or quickly, and what colours and shades we might use. The children then had lots of fun listening to the music again,  and painting in response to express their feelings and experience of the music!

ZONES OF REGULATION

In Reception we use the zones of regulation to help us identify and talk about our feelings. We use the different zones to tell our teachers how we are feeling in the morning and we are finding out strategies to get back to green!
