Junior School RULER News
On Wednesday 18 March, the Junior School RULER team welcomed students from a local Kinder. This session focused on emotions and how to regulate emotions. The kinder students listened to a story called Colour Monsters and created their own emotion monsters.
At times your child/ren may have a range of feelings about coming to school. Some children may feel anxious, nervous or scared, while others may feel excited and delighted. Sometimes children can feel a mix of these feelings. It is important to remember that all feelings are OK. Stories are a great way to learn about emotions. Below is a very small sample of some available.
