In the Autumn term, Zayit and Seorah class worked on an extended project across the two half terms. This was focused on the topic ʻAll about meʼ and was inked with learning related to our big question ʻWhat are the building blocks of me?ʼ In this project the children created our own Mr Men/Little Miss character to explore who we are as individuals and the building blocks that we need to best look after ourselves. For example, we looked at how to keep our bodies healthy, what helps us to have a healthy mind, the best ways to prepare ourselves for learning and celebrating where we are from and our cultures. The children created a range of work which was displayed in their Mr/Little Miss character books alongside a couple of class videos. We were excited to share all of the amazing learning we got to do throughout the Autumn term!
Teacher’s Reflections
“I have loved this project. I think the children really enjoyed it and have taken so much from it. In particular, the children have learnt so much about the best ways to regulate their bodies in accordance with the zones of regulation and what breaks best suit them. This has had a huge impact on the class culture as the children are now able to take themselves off independently for a classroom break away from the table if they are having a tricky moment. It has also given them a lot more fluency in how they are feeling and made them more accepting of taking a break if they need it.”
