We have been enjoying investigating moving in different ways. We went outside and tried to move like different animals. We made sure that we used all the space on the playground and didn't bump into anyone. Can you guess which animals we were trying to be?

This week has been 'Mental Health Week' in school. We thought about different feelings we might have and what we should do when we experience them. We talked about counting to 10, taking a deep breath, walking away, explaining how we feel to a friend or known adult. We enjoyed a yoga session where we thought about being calm and relaxed.

Watch this video to try some yoga moves to help you relax at home!
