Emoji Emotions

We have been learning about feelings in one of our Maori rotations. We made emojis about different emotions . It helped us with our pronunciation too.

Musical Emotional Art

This week in the seniors we have been doing emotional art. We have been listening to music and drawing what we hear. The twist was we couldn't see the screen so we didn't know what type of music we were listening to it was really fun. We are doing this because we are doing a music inquiry.

We are building up to our Arts Celebration in Week 5. Today we listened to some different music and noticed how it affects us emotionally and we drew pictures in response to it.

Creative Alchemy

 We were lucky to have a local artist come in and work with us today. Stephanie talked to us about emotions and how they represent energy in motion. Each of us did some deep breathing and then thought about how she or he was feeling. Then we painted that feeling. As we painted, different things happened. For some, the feeling intensified, for others it moved to another feeling and for others it stayed the same.

As part of our Inquiry into Healthy Bodies and Healthy Minds, and our focus on Positive Education, we're learning that we can use art and other forms of creative expression to release emotions and work through emotions that we're struggling with. It's important not to judge any emotion, but have ways to manage them.

Thanks very much for coming in to work with us today Stephanie. Have a look on seesaw to see your child's art and explanation of what they were feeling.
