Being a P2 Teacher & an Auntie to a 5 year old has a lot to answer for as to why Taylor Swift has been replaced by Kpop Demon hunters on my Spotify wrapped. 😳

Decided that today was the day to bring in ‘must do tasks’ I told my children they had to complete all 4 by the end of the day & write their name on the board when they had done each task. Delighted to see and hear how these little people are embracing choice and accountability! 🌟

Today we developed our understanding of regulation. Learners explored their backpacks & reflected on strategies & tools that support them when they experience big emotions. Lots of lovely chat about how important it is to Pause, choose & take the lead, to give our brain just what it needs! ✨

The Burj Khalifa appeared in P2 today! We designed, built, measured & re planned when children discovered it was not 828 metres tall yet… it’s under construction 🚧

Today brought a wonderful ‘OH WOW!’ Moment as I shared my experience of mud painting with my class. The excitement was palpable, even just the photos sparked curiosity, well before their own hands got muddy. It was then a joy to watch them explore & connect with place and their community!

Today’s morning mindfulness challenge was to draw and write about something that made you smile this week.

ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.

Today we read ‘Silly Billy’ which looks at children’s worries & how we cope with them.
Grandma comes to help with some Guatamalen worry dolls. After our story many children expressed a wish for their own worry doll.
So that is what we spent our afternoon creating, our own worry dolls!

This! 👀 I thought I was lazy or broken. Turns out my brain just works differently. Now, to learn how to work with it, instead of fighting against it and that feels like the start of something a little more kind!

I kicked off my day with my P2 class I’ll be teaching next year by reading them one of my favourites 🤩 I’ll never tire of seeing the wonder on children’s faces when I read this book! Afterwards, we began turning our classroom into a home by creating some brilliant self portraits!
