Emotions - Colour Symbol Image

We have been introducing a visible thinking routine called Colour / Symbol / Image into our unit of inquiry. Last week we explored how colour can evoke mood, and have been having plenty of discussions about feelings and how to stay calm. Today they had their first attempt at a Colour / Symbol /Image around an emotion of their choice. 

The short film below is called "Just Breathe" by Julie Bayer Salzman & Josh Salzman  of Wavecrest Films.
It demonstrates a group of children discussing how they feel when they are angry, and how they can calm down. We will be discussing this and other 'calming' techniques during the week.
