The Colour Monster

This week as part of our ‘Marvellous Me’ topic we have been learning all about emotions and feelings. We read a fantastic story called the Colour Monster. In the story, the monster turns different colours depending on how he is feeling and sometimes his feelings were all mixed up and he was rainbow coloured. We talked a lot about different feelings and emotions and how our feelings and emotions can change throughout the day, this is very normal. We now have a feelings chart in our classroom so that each morning we can discuss how we are feeling. We made our own amazing colour monsters using various creative materials and resources. We can’t wait to display them in the classroom. It is really important to recognize how you are feeling so that you can get help if you need it and also understand how you can help yourself to feel happy too.

We also talked about where in our bodies we might feel these emotions. We drew around one of our class friends and then labelled the parts of the body. We discussed how and where we might feel these emotions in our body, using the colours from the Colour Monster story to show each emotion.
