NEW - to help support emotional literacy

This new oracy resource focuses on giving children the words they need to be able to talk about their feelings.  The resources uses various books that develop a theme highlighting a specific emotion.  The language activities in each feelings pack are based on the semantics, syntax and pragmatics of being able to share your feelings with others.  They include:

  • story questions - to help children focus on the emotion aspects of the narrative
  • word activites - to develop the child's vocabulary and understanding of how words work to describe events and people, and to compare things
  • sentence activities - to strengthen a child's sentences, particularly in more complex structures such as using a problem-solution or cause-efect type construction
  • personal narrative - to share their own emotion-based life experiences with others
  • body talk - to understand their own feelings and how these feelings are reflected in personal 'body talk'
  • story retell - to build narrative skills and continue to explore how other characters respond  to situations and how they might feel
  • scripts such as feel-think-say-do - to increase awareness of how people respond to situations, events and those around us; how we interact with the world
  • reflection - to help children reflect on situations and their own emotional responses, to explore options and understand how and why others might feel

Each emotions pack focuses on one emotion, through exploring two books.  The packs that are currently available are:

SAD - Tough Boris by Mem Fox   |   Gilbert the Great by Jane Clarke
