This week the theme of the REACH programme was ‘Bears’. Throughout the lesson the children focused on emotions – how we can show emotion and where we might feel emotion on our bodies. They were given cards with bears on them and were asked to give the bear a name, discuss how it was feeling and why it was feeling this way. The children were then given a colour for a particular emotion and had to colour the body part of the bear to show where they would feel each emotion. To finish the lesson, the children participated in mindfulness breathing activities.
