Thrive Day

We had another wonderful whole school Thrive Day on Monday. Our focus was upon Colour and we started the day with a special assembly together where we wondered ‘If I was a colour, what colour would I be and why?’. The children were able to be very specific about the shade of the colour and how this was linked to their emotions. We shared the book ‘The Feelings Doctor’ by Anna Llenas, featuring the Colour Monster and each class was challenged to create their own ‘Emotions Toolkit’ – what strategies could we use to help us when we experience ‘big’ emotions? Each class also took part in a range of art-based activities, enjoyed music, wearing their slippers and even taking part in some philosophical questions. At the end of the day we all came together again to share the best bits of the day and reflect on the strategies we could and do use to help us to regulate.
