Children can find regulating their emotions independently quite challenging, therefore we have gathered some ideas to support their mental health as well as teaching them how they can regulate their feelings, thoughts and anxieties. 

Let's keep our brains and minds healthy!]]> 2021-02-08 12:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1176555878 Breathing techniques year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1176556252 Sometimes, when we feel anxious, scared, angry or overwhelmed with a range of emotions our bodies make us react. Sometimes it can be difficult to know how to calm ourselves down and focus on other things. 

Attached below, are some breathing technique cards that can help us focus on our breathing which supports our calmness. Focusing on breathing can distract you from the overwhelming emotions you may feel or allow you to simply focus. ]]> 2021-02-08 12:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1176556252 Mindfullness meditation year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1176556710 Having time to focus on our minds keeps our minds and brains happy an healthy.

By identifying the emotions that we are feeling, this can support our expression of these emotions. 

Here is a range of feelings and pictures to help you describe and register your emotions. ]]> 2021-02-08 12:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1176557124 Growth mindset year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1176557695 It can be easy to think about all the things we can't yet do. However, with a growth mindset anything is possible. Think about all of the positives in your learning and how you can overcome a challenge. 

Growth mindset involves a few of our characteristics of learning:
perseverance
risk-taking
confidence
problem-solving
self-esteem. 

Here are some affirmations to support your mindset when learning.

Today we are focussing on repetition- this is when poetry repeats certain words, lines, ideas and can even include rhyming. 

Read this short poem about Earl Shilton to see if you can spot any repeating words, phrases, types of sentences or words that sound similar. 

Extra challenge:
Using clues from the repetition that you have noticed, can you think of what the missing parts of this poem might be?]]> 2021-02-12 11:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196082434 Meet and greet 2a (2LM) year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196550909 Welcome to our afternoon learning. ]]> 2021-02-12 14:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196550909 Meet and greet 2b (2MG) year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196552051 Welcome to our afternoon learning. ]]> 2021-02-12 14:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196552051 Music year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196553079 As we begin to look at poetry, we will begin exploring rhythm. 
A good poem will have a rhythm that makes it enjoyable to read. 

Watch and listen to learn the difference between what a rhythm and what a pulse is? 

What is your favourite song? Can you identify the rhythm and pulse in that song too?]]> 2021-02-12 14:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196553079 Art year2Townlands https://padlet.com/year2Townlands/4u9nxz1yuuzcyalc/wish/1196553270 Through our history this term we will be considering the hidden joys of where we live.  This will involve the hidden gardens in Earl Shilton.

This short film focuses on Christianity, and narrates the story of Easter.
Take a moment to reflect;
Easter is a reminder that, just as the daffodil bursts into new life, we can look forward to new life ahead of us too, with new things beginning and things opening up once again.
The Easter story is a promise of new life.
Can you think about the things that they are looking forward to.
To close collective worship today you are invited to prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for Easter.
Thank you for sending your son to die on the cross.
Thank you for your promise of new life.
Amen.
