Reading a book is just magical!

Sometimes it can also cause anxiety if children have special needs which make reading words, understanding their meaning or remembering the sequence of events in a story that little bit harder.

To support these types of language needs, it is useful to use symbols, pictures, actions. How do you do it?

Watch the video below to find out!

Enjoy the story!

Do you ever  feel that you are about to explode? Do you sometimes feel that your whole body is so tense that it almost hurts? Do you sometimes get triggered into the Red Zone and you have BIG REACTIONS to small problems?

Sounds familiar?

Those are signs that your brain is trying to tell you to breathe and get some space.

Have a go at the VULCANO BREATH!

Well done to all of you for completing the challenge!  We hope that you will carry on using the power of breathing to build on your emotional resilience in school, at home, everywhere!

Remember that you can talk to your family, friends, teachers, Mrs Pollington, Miss Ancel about anything that might sit heavy on your mind. If you’d rather write a note, use the TALK IT OUT box in your class.

The winners of the Breathing Challenge will be announced live on Feb 25th during Merit Assembly.

Feeling in the Yellow Zone can be overwhelming. You might experience strong feelings such as frustration. You might look around you and see obstacles everywhere.

You might be wondering ‘what if I can’t do it?’, ‘ what if my friends don’t like me anymore?’.

Or you might be feeling giggly and fidgety, unable to settle on anything and the people around might start to get irritated with you or you with them.

Let’s try a tool to settle all those antsy feeling  bubbling up : the DANDELION BREATH!

Remember that you can talk to your family, friends, teachers, Mrs Pollington, Miss Ancel about anything that might sit heavy on your mind. If you’d rather write a note, use the TALK IT OUT box in your class.
