Working Together

         

This week we have been looking at 

Working Together

We can achieve more when we work together.

We can share our ideas when we work together.

We can go above and beyond with our learning

when we all work together.

                                        

ELSA Sharing Tree

Have a look at our very Christmas Sharing Tree!

We have been decorating our Sharing tree over the last few weeks with lots of Christmas decorations, including Christmas stockings, snowflakes, winter hand prints and of course  lots  of bubbles and tinsel!

Our Recipe for Friendship

Our ELSA Stars have been very busy helping me create our friendship display.

This half term our topic has been friendship.
What makes a good friend?
How can we be a good friend to others?

We have been reading "Have you filled a bucket today?"
To be a bucket filler means you are being a good friend.

Please click the link below for the "Have you filled a bucket?"story.

It might give you some ideas on becoming a great friend.

Friendship cartoon

The children of ELSA love this cartoon, it has great openings for discussion around friendship, body language and feelings.

Smartie Bingo

Who doesn't like smarties?

This is a fab game to get children to talk about their emotions.
We often play this game in ELSA, and you can use it at home, just follow the link below to download and print out.

Don't worry the children only get eight smarties each!

Body Language 

We have been looking at body language this week, it helps us understand how somebody else feels.

We watched the video and then took it in turns to show different emotions, the group had to guess how we were feeling by looking at our body language. 

We found out that it's not just our faces that can show emotions, our whole body can.
