This week we have been reading a lovely book called ‘Once upon a dragon’s fire’ by Beatrice Blue which inspired us to create our own stories about a dragon. The children made their own puppets and held a puppet show to share their story. We had a wonderful time and one of the children had so much fun he has made his own puppet show frame from cardboard so he can create more puppet shows at home.
7 Blue have completed a 6 week intervention with the Healthy Minds Team called ‘We Eat Elephants’.
During the sessions, we have learned that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours are all linked.
The children have been taught that changing the way they think can help them to feel better and they were given the opportunity to practice their problem solving skills so that when outside events make them have ‘big feelings’ such as being sad or feeling angry, they know what to do manage these feelings in a positive way.
