Autumn Term

Welcome Sessions
The children are all invited into school this week to spend their first morning at Blakehill. Children are coming into RP in groups of ten to allow us to spend lots of time with each child and get to know them really well. Parents are welcome to join us for the first part of the morning to support their child in making their own magic wand and mini person for our display. After that parents can say goodbye so that the children have some time to explore independently. At lunchtime parents are invited back to join us for a delicious school dinner in the hall.

Zones of Regulation 
The children have been introduces to the zones of regulation this week. We  looked at the different zones and the words they can use to talk about how they are feeling. We worked together to sort the different emotions in the to the correct zones. Each day we focussed on a different zone and came up with ideas of what we could do to get us back the the green zone.
