Talk it over activities
During our resilience toolkit work this term we have been focusing on the strategy Talk it Over. We have discussed different times we have felt worried and realised everyone feels worried sometimes. We read the book ‘The Huge Bag Of Worries’ by Virginia Ironside and realised it’s important to talk about your worries so they don’t grow. As well as talking to someone we thought about other strategies to help us feel better when we are worried- we came up with lots of ideas, such as playing a favourite game, going for a walk, distracting ourselves with a favourite activity, or taking a bath with a book! As a home learning task pupils could make their own worry monsters to help feed their worries too, they were fantastic ! We have also talked about how our emotions can change all the time and have created an emotions check in wall where we can keep a track of our feelings throughout the day!
