Foundation Wellbeing

This term in Foundation, students are focusing on building their capacity to manage their emotions through developing self calming strategies. During the first week of term, the Foundation students discussed how feelings can impact their wellbeing and their ability to make good choices. They played the ‘Melting Tiger’ game by listening to their teacher tell them a story and role playing being the tiger in the story. The Foundation students reflected on how this strategy made them feel and how this can help them when they are feeling sad or overwhelmed.
