E-Book

In this week’s E-Book, we meet Oleg the Observant Owl.
Oleg’s E-Book discusses how it is important that we learn how to regulate our emotions.
There are two differentiated E-Books available; one for Early Years & KS1 and the other is written for both lower as well as upper KS2.
Journal and Task Card
This week our amazing journal activity and task card are all about self-regulation and knowing yourself.

Our task card and journal are great together as they are designed to help the children further embed what they have learnt from the animation and digital E-Book.

Our task card also works as a great introductory resource as it explains this weeks theme of regulating emotions through the use of roleplay scenarios.

Self Regulation Activities
Cookie Monster Practices Self-Regulation
A brilliant video that can be used at the start of a lesson to introduce and explain what self-regulation actually means – and does so by using the ideal character for this topic, The Cookie Monster.
Cookie Monster joins NPR’s Life Kit Parenting Podcast to talk about practising self-control, especially when you have to wait for something you really want… like a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies.
5 Incredibly Fun GAMES to Teach Self-Regulation | Social Emotional Learning
Teaching kids to have self-regulation is one of the most important character traits we can teach. Experts believe that kids who master self-regulation become: masters of their learning, are more critical thinkers, and make healthier choices; and the benefits are life-long.
