How we EXPRESS OURSELVES...

-->

Below are some different ways of expressing ourselves that the children were able to think of:

• Art, drawing pictures.
• Music, singing songs.
• Drama, dressing up, a puppet show.
• Movement, playing outside, anything that involves body movement.
• Writing and speaking.

The children will be given the opportunity to reflect on their knowledge and the different forms of expression by recording their thoughts and experiences in a journal. Taking time to reflect helps us practice slowing down so that we can make connections with what we hear and see.

The children are showing a good understanding of the importance of being good listeners and how it can help build understanding of someone’s needs and wants. People express themselves in different ways and sometimes that can influence who we are and what we do.

The children started adding pages to their journal. They thought of different ways that they express themselves, or ways that their family and friends express themselves. Simon mentioned that he would like to be able to express himself through writing, so today we took the time to practice writing our names and some key words that the children chose.
