As part of a series of wellbeing assemblies for Caldecott Primary School, Mental Health and Wellbeing Co-ordinator, Natalie Hunt spoke to children in Key Stage 1 on how to manage big feelings. By recognising and labelling feelings in our bodies (from tummy aches to feeling shaky), we can decide if the feeling is helpful and choose a strategy to manage it, such as taking some deep, controlled breaths, doing some star jumps or calming colouring. The children enjoyed sharing some of their feelings from the day and gave examples of strategies that helped them.
