This week in Italy Class, we used the week's theme of 'Finding Your Brave' to learn how to work through our worries and anxiety. We did a variety of activities which included:
- A mindfulness colouring session to help us relax our minds.
- We completed an 'I am an amazing person' sheet, so that the children could share with the class why they are amazing.
- The children wrote a recipe for 'A jar of courage'.
- We read Wilma Jean the Worry Machine together and the children were asked whether they felt like they had anything in common with Wilma! We discovered we had lots of 'What If...' questions and worries buzzing around heads - of both children and adults!
- After the story, we made worry boxes for the children to keep the worries that were bothering them in. The worries can stay in the box until the children are ready to deal with them.
