We discussed different types of anger and what we can do to deal with it.
We finished the session with a story called I feel angry.

This week so far the children have been doing a variety of activities to ensure they understand how to keep safe online with the added bonus of Safer Internet Week. As part of our circle time the children have discussed what emojis they would used for a variety of scenarios.

Today the Puffins have been discussing bullying in circle time we even had a did some role play and hot seating to see the points of view of a bully and the victim.
During circle time today we explored honesty through a game of two truths and a lie. We had lots of fun making things up about ourselves and sharing them with each other.
Here are some examples of our two truths and a lie.
I don’t like your hair.
I like your earrings.
I like your eyes.
I have blonde hair.
I don’t have any bones.
I am a girl.
I love to read books.
I love apples.
I am having a baby.
I don’t have a mum.
I live in a house.
I have blue eyes.
I have black shoes.

We started circle time today by thinking about what we thought honesty meant.
We thought about times we have been honest. We shared our different stories with each other.
After we had talked about our stories, we thought about how felt once we had told the truth. We explored our feelings really well and have started to use a range of feeling words.

Today in circle time we thought about how special we all are. We all shared ideas with the class about why we are special.
We then played a circle time game finding similarities between us all. We realised that we are all very different, but we also share some of the same qualities. We decided that it is nice to have lots of different people in our class and that we are all special because we are puffins.
