In Nursery this week we have been focusing on mental health and wellbeing. We have done this through sharing the story The Colour Monster. This book is about a monster who wakes up feeling very confused, his emotions are all over the place and he takes the time to sort them out.
We have been encouraging the children to talk about their feelings using words like happy, sad, angry, calm. This discussion has continued to include things that make us feel this way, and what we can do when we feel these things. This discussion was featured with the aim to help children understand how others might feel and how actions have effects.
We have also celebrated this topic by using different materials and exploring different colours to create and put ideas onto paper. As with the book different feelings have been attached to different colours, so this has helped the children talk about emotions in association with colour and creating with colour.
